Quinton

Tree growth on the S+MJ embankment is no longer the most exciting development here see image 30934. A wind farm is being built on the far (West) side of the M1, towards Roade; with the trackbed under the M1 bridge (highlighted by an excavator with its headlights on) being used for access. The accommodation bridge (right, towards Northampton) would clearly be less commodious. Good to see old infrastructure being re-used; even if the lovely crumbling abutments either side of the road in the foreground had to be sacrificed.
