350119, LM 07.14 Birmingham New Street-London Euston, Gordon's Lodge SP776483
The 07.14 Birmingham New Street to Euston service passes Gordon's Lodge near Hanslope Junction worked by 350119 and another unidentified unit. I am standing on the right side of the fence at this location but it would be all too easy for a foolish photographer to venture further towards the tracks on the embankment

90046, 04.59 Trafford Park-Felixstowe North (4L97), Gordon's Lodge SP776483
The daily (six days per week that is) 4L97 Freightliner is nearly always electric hauled, sometimes by a pair of Class 86s but often by a Class 90 as is the case here. 90046 heads south past Gordon's Lodge between Wolverton and Roade leading the 04.59 Trafford Park to Felixstowe North on this dull and dismal morning.

221107, VT 07.17 Chester-London Euston, Gordon's Lodge SP776483
Adding a burst of colour to a very grey and dull scene at Gordon's Lodge near Hanslope JnctionVirgin's 221107 races south with the 07.17 Chester to Euston service. It is sobering to think that the Voyagers have been in service on the West Coast route for just over ten years now; where has that time gone?

390045, VT 08.07 London Euston-Liverpool Lime Street, Gordon's Lodge SP776483
390045 '101 Squadron' passes Gordon's Lodge just north of Hamslope Junction working the 08.07 Euston to Liverpool Lime Street service. Like many Pendolins working on the WCML this one is charging along with its couping door open doing nothing for air-cheating aerodynamics.
