Pictured midway between the stations of Aspley Guise and Ridgmont, 230004 passes Husborne Crawley on 2 October 2019 with the 2S09 10:01 Bletchley to Bedford London Northwestern service. Note the clouds in the background. The Met Office got the forecast exactly right on this occasion, predicting a fair amount of cloud in the Midlands, and lots of sun further east. This is precisely what I based my trip on, and after a little cloud around midday, it proved to be a gloriously sunny day. |
