56113, 56087, DR73906, DR73907 & DR73910, 14.17 Bletchley CS-Guide Bridge (6Z56), Roade Cutting 
 Colas livered 56113 and 56087 tow three track machines through Roade Cutting. An unusual working running as the 6Z56 14.17 Bletchley to Guide Bridge involved the movement of DR73906, DR73907 and DR73910. It's good to see that these class 56s still have a useful role to play on the modern railway. Despite their far from good introduction they have matured into good machines.

 390154 'Matthew Flinders' is now out of the light as the bank holiday sun has moved round to the south west putting this side of Roade cutting in the shade. The Pendolino is working the 15.30 Birmingham New Street to London Euston.

66068, 11.21 Peak Forest-Wembley LE, Roade Cutting 
 66068 runs on the up slow through Roade Cutting as the 11.21 Peak Forest to Wembley light engine move. Unfortunately, I could not find the reporting number of this particular working. This 66 arrived in the UK in February 1999 arriving at Newport Docks on the MV Fairmast.
