Lockdown blues were blown away by the sight of 66596 powering up the grade to Bermuda Park. I chose this platform because the freight train could have been blocked by a departure for Leamington on the other platform; but I like the trees on the left balancing out the distinctly man-made warehouse on the right. The light dusting of snow on the plates of the canal bridge makes a change from their usual dark colours. Note for enthusiasts: this is train 456P from Southampton to Birmingham Lawley Street.
