Sunday engineering work on 5 July 2020 saw East Midlands Railway trains diverted via the Melton Mowbray line. Unfortunately the middle of the day was quite cloudy, but luckily 43049 Neville Hill passed Ashwell in a few minutes worth of sunshine amid the clouds. Here it is passing Ashwell's semaphore signals with the 1B51 13:18 Nottingham to St Pancras International service.
