A walk across the field from home on a particularly dull day to see the 0K68 light engine move that had been flagged up on the internet. I took the opportunity to take the cutters to undertake some pruning of the brambles that had started to obscure the view at this spot. I spent a good half an hour cutting these back and it opened up the spot again but I'll need to keep on top of it!

390154, VT 12.40 London Euston-Manchester Piccadilly (1H67, RT), Ashton Road bridge 
 390154 'Matthew Flinders' passes between Roade and Ashton working the 12.40 Euston to Manchester Piccadilly. A terrible day, cold and grey but at least it got me out to help get my 10 000 paces up!

68011, 37423, 88008 & 88007, 09.35 Wembley-Crewe Gresty Bridge (0K68), Ashton Road bridge

390128, VT 12.43 London Euston-Edinburgh (9S70, RT), Ashton Road bridge 
 390128 'City of Preston' is exactly sixty miles into its journey to Scotland. The 9S70 12.43 Euston to Edinburgh passes the south Northamptonshire countryside on a particularly gloomy and cold January day.

350372, LN 12.46 London Euston-Crewe (1U35, RT), Ashton Road bridge

390013, VT 13.20 London Euston-Mancheste Piccadilly (1H27, RT), Ashton Road bridge 
 390013 'Blackpool Belle' is deliberately taken off-centre in this shot so as to capture, at last, the alpacas grazing in the field next to the line. I have made reference to them in several of my pictures due to their absence every time I have tried to include them. It is better to get them in a picture from the other side of the line but this will have to suffice for the moment! The Pendolino is passing between Roade and Ashton in Northamptonshire working the 13.20 Euston to Manchester Piccadilly.
