View NW on the WCML towards Rugby, Birmingham and the North. The express is W730, the 10.35 Birmingham New Street to Wembley Central, headed by Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 44829 (built 1944, withdrawn 5/68 - one of the last). That Cup Final day - when Aston Villa beat Manchester United 2-1, I used a Track Permit to walk along the line from Bletchley to Wolverton, before Milton Keynes existed.
