A locomotive in Virgin livery is hauled on an Allelys low loader, 18 wheels in all. It makes slow progress up long straight Node Hill, aka Bromsgrove Road A448. It's natural to speculate: was it a loco that broke down, or is it bound for refurb and rebranding for Chiltern Railways' 'silver' trains?
