Roade Cutting Roade cutting, looking south from Courteenhall Road bridge.  The left hand tracks under the supporting girders are the Northampton loop line, while those on the right are the main West Coast line from Rugby.  From here the four tracks run parallel all the way to Euston Station in London.  The supporting girders are necessary to stabilise the Northampton loop tracks which are at a lower level all through the cutting.
