Another trip for work. This time, to Chadwell Heath in East London to collect a delightful Honda Jazz for a customer. The collection point was two minutes from Chadwell Heath station so I was on my way back to Northampton in no time and still managed to do an afternoon's work!

66107 arrives at Northampton leading the 04.17 Felixstowe South to Burton-on-Trent 4M07 Freightliner. The picture is taken from the old station car park that is now in use for staff parking. The line off to the left is a short stub of track being all that remains of the Nene Valley line that went to Wellingborough and, ultimately, Peterborough.

90045, stabled on sleeper stock, Wembley Yard
As the train I was travelling on entered Wembley Yard, 90045 is seen at the head of the sleeper stock. The class 90 had brought the empty sleeper stock out from Euston to Wembley for daytime servicing. The Freightliner looks very bright in its new Freightliner livery in the drab mid-winter weather.

86246 & 92043, stabled, Willesden MPD
Looking a bit sad wearing its very faded Anglia livery that was once described as being Turquoise Green 86246, formally 'Royal Anglian Regiment' sits at Willesden depot with 92043 'Debussey'. The 86 had been rescued from storage at Long Marston by Europhoenix being selected for future use abroad.

On the blocks at London Euston sees two different operators trains. To the left is London Midland's 350250 that will form the 2N11 10.54 stopper service to Northampton.

Class 315, LO 10.34 Shenfield-London Liverpool Street (2W86) & 321364, LE ECS from 09.00 Braintree-London Liverpool Street (1F31), London Liverpool Street station
A class 315's driver secures his train after arrival with the 10.34 from Shenfield at Liverpool Street. Next to it, sits 321364 stabled after the earlier arrival of the 09.00 from Braintree. I was eyed with suspicion at Liverpool Street station by staff not keen on me having my camera out despite having a valid ticket. If I had been using a mobile 'phone camera, would that have been different?

Tickets,Northampton-Chadwell Heath
Just over £18 is not a bad fare considering that it was a combination of an anytime and advanced single. As work paid, I was not too concerned though!
