I went to the nearby Victoria bridge to observe the passage of The Flame Train. This was organised by Hexham and Newcastle Youth Ministry Team and took youngsters to a religious celebration at Wembley stadium.

350118 & 350264, LM 09.14 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (1Y22), Victoria bridge The 09.14 Birmingham New Street to London Euston service passes Victoria bridge in the early morning spring sunshine. The train is formed by a pair of Desiros, 350118 and 350264 Keywords: 350118 350264 09.14 Birmingham New Street-London Euston 1Y22 Victoria bridge
390104, VT 06.34 Glasgow Central-London Euston (1M07), Victoria bridge Virgin Trains' 390104 'Alstom Pendolino' sweeps around the curve under Victoria bridge located just south of Roade in Northamptonshire. This is the first up Anglo-Scottish express of the day having left Glasgow at 06.34 running as 1M07. Keywords: 390104 06.34 Glasgow Central-London Euston 1M07 Victoria bridge
90035, outward leg of The Flame Train, Newcastle-Wembley-Central-(0001Z0090),-Victoria-bridge This special train left Newcastle Central at an unearthly hour and is seen here passing Victoria bridge on the Southern WCML on the final part of its journey to Wembley Central. It is being led by 90035 that will have taken over the train somewhere en-route. The mixed bag of Mk. II stock is carrying a whole load of young Christians to the CYMFed Flame Congress at Wembley.

67005, outward leg of The Flame Train, Newcastle-Wembley Central (1Z90), Victoria bridge I suspect that the 67005 'Queen's Messenger' would have led The Flame Train at some time during its journey from Newcastle. However, at this stage of its journey on the Southern WCML near Roade, it is on the rear of the special with 90035 up at the front. The train's destination was Wembley Central for a vast religious convention at the nearby stadium. Keywords: 67005 The Flame Train, Newcastle-Wembley Central 1Z90 Victoria bridge
70019, 08.15 Crewe Basford Hall-Southampton (4O29) (Diverted becuase of`Harbury landslip), Victoria bridge An unusual working on the southern WCML is the 4O29 08.15 Crewe Basford Hall to Southampton Freightliner, on this day hauled by 70019 doing its best to shatter the peace and quiet of the Northamptonshire countryside. The reason for the diversion was the closure of the Chiltern line that this service would normally have taken from Birmingham to Oxford. The closure was because of a major landslip in Harbury cutting that closed the mainline between Leamington and Banbury for some weeks.
