DB Schenker class 66, 66012, crosses the fast lines of the Midland mainline on the freight lines before descending to join the slow lines for its onward journey. The service is the 6F93 Castle Cement Churchyard Siding (near Kings Cross) to Ketton Ward Siding cement empties. Running through early at 11:24, it will be held for its path at the red signal ahead until 11:40. Beyond the locomotive in the centre a Class 377 can be seen on the fast lines running from Brighton to Bedford. On the bottom right, the overhead wire of the down (northbound) slow line is visible. On the right of the photo is the M1 Motorway.
