B1 class 61306 is heading train 1Z44 from Paddington to Stratford-upon-Avon. It was rostered to have a diesel at the rear, but this was not the case. It was very slightly ahead of time here. Timing was for 60 mph maximum, it looked at least that here. According to the reported passing times to the nearest 1/4 minute at Princes Risborough and Haddenham & Thame Parkway, it averaged a shade over 63 mph over this stretch. The locomotive is allowed up to 75 mph.
