Due to industrial action Andy was off work, so he came over for a few hours. I had a blood donation session so we walked through the village to the village hall. Here, Andy left me to lie on a coach and give an 'armful' followed by a biscuit whilst he went to Roade Cutting. I joined him at the Cutting afterwards.

Class 221, 08.51 Edinburgh-London Euston (9M52), Roade Cutting In full summer sunshine, a Virgin Trains class 221 in the final phase of its journey from Scotland as the 08.51 Edinburgh to London Euston.
