I coincided my bike ride to Towcester to collect our fully charged car with the passage of a light engine move going south.

390128, VT 10.39 Wolverhampton-London Euston (1B37, 7L), A508 bridge
390128 passes Roade at the southern end of the famous cutting working the 10.39 Wolverhampton to Euston AWC service. I am standing on the former A508 road bridge. I say former as the recently opened Roade bypass has taken the road's number so the old road through the village will be reclassified I suspect. All that I do know is that this location is extremely quiet now with no constant lines of vehicles passing directly behind where I am standing!

56091, 10.57 Leicester LIP-Willesden DC Rail Sidings (0Z56, 14E), A508 bridge
56091 'Driver Wayne Gaskell' seems to be spending a lot of its time running light engine up and down the WCML. I saw it earlier in the week heading north past Milton Keynes in the company of 60046 'William Wilberforce' heading north, see... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/30049736338/x60046-56091-11-30-willesden-dc-rail and here it is on its own this time heading south as the 0Z56 10.57 Leicester LIP to Willesden DC Rail Sidings. I am not a fan if light engine photographs and do not go out of my way to digitally capture them however, when it's a Grid I will normally make an exception!
