Empty stock moves are a little unusual on a Sunday morning so this one stood out a mile when consulting RTT for my daily check. I was unsure as to what 5Z60 was actually going to be until it passed me as nobody had posted any information or earlier sightings.

390045, VT 09.21 Manchester Piccadilly-London Euston (1A14, 10E), site of Roade station 
 Being a Sunday morning engineering works have closed the fast lines from Hanslope Junction to Hilmorton Junction near Rugby meaning all trains are diverted via the 'slow' line through Northampton. Emerging from Roade cutting, 390045 'Birmingham Pride' forms the 09.21 Manchester Piccadilly to Euston AWC service on a glorious early summer's day.

67021 & 67024, 08.43 Stewarts Lane-Hamilton EG Steel (5Z60, 7E), site of Roade station 
 Unfortunately, taken against the strong summer light the 5Z60 08.43 Stewarts Lane to Hamilton EG Steel empty stock working is seen passing through Roade. Leading the rake of Belmond Pullman stock is 67021 with 67024 bringing up the rear. As EG Steel works on all types of railway stock undertaking repairs to to corrosion and general repairs to frames I suspect that the vintage stock is heading to them for inspection and possible rectification unless anybody can advise.

67024, 08.43 Stewarts Lane-Hamilton EG Steel (5Z60, 7E), site of Roade station
