The 4M51 Tilbury to Daventry crossing the newly re-laid Junction Road Junction in the direction of Gospel Oak.

After the train passed a resident fox picked his way across the line...

...climbed the bank and gave me a baleful stare before settling down for a snooze in the sun.

66587 followed the 4M51, light engine, towards Gospel Oak

The London Overground 150s still sport Silverlink livery with London Overground transfers. LO seem to keep them in better shape than Silverlink, in whose care they did start looking rather tatty.

90047 is the train engine being piloted by 66588 as the 4L89 from Coatbridge slowly crosses the junction.

At Kentish Town a pair of 319s on a Brighton train.

FCC 377 and a Southern example on loan approach Kentish Town from the south on a Brighton to Bedford train.

At Blackfriars only the two through lines are left. A Wimbledon train leaves heading south over the Thames, which the station will eventually span.

66539 passing Harringay Park on April 23rd with the 4M51 Tilbury to Daventry

The Harringay Park Up Starter and the Harringay Park Intermediate Block Signal Distant

Emerging from the short tunnel under Stapleton Hall Road and the Parkland Walk 66536 towing 90048 on the 4L89

And passing the spur to the ECML at what used to be Harringay West and is now just Harringay.

Some 10 minutes later the 7L43 crept towards Harringay Green Lanes. It was held at the South Tottenham outer home for well over five minutes on account of the 4L89 missing it's slot and having to wait to access the Lea Valley line. Consequently it sat, fouling the junction at South Tottenham delaying both the following unit , the up unit and the 7L43.

At South Tottenham the 4L41 behind 66578 and 90047 climbing up from the bridge under the Southbury Loop.

As luck would have it the 4L41 was also held up awaiting access to the Lea Valley. Consequently 66121 was forced to wait at the home signal. An NXEA 315 on a Liverpool Street bound train heads towards Stamford Hill

Having missed the 7L22 at Crouch Hill everything went quiet for over an hour. The boredom was alleviated by the appearance of 66188 running as 0M56, what should have been the Cargowagons and cubes from Ripple Lane.

No sign of the 6L88 but the 6L45 loaded cement from Earles to West Thurrock appeared behind 66581. The signals are the Harringay Park IBS and the Upper Holloway Distant, both motor worked on account of the distance from the respective boxes.

At Junction Road an early running 4M88 behind 66541 and 90045.

Followed very shortly afterwards by the DRS operated 4M71 inter-modal train from Tilbury to Daventry carrying liquid sugar on behalf of Tate & Lyle.

As it passed 66613 on the 6L60 to Bow Olympic headed east.

At Junction Road Junction the 6X48 loaded Ford cars from Dagenham was double headed by 66131 and 66084.

66705 trundles over the junction a few minutes later forming the 0M91 from Ferme Park, in lieu of the 6O61 to Grain.

Earlier in the day I had caught 66121 LE at South Tottenham. It was going to Lea Interchange to pick up the 6Z96, empty boxes bound for Hither Green, here at Junction Road.
