Bridge 405 looking east during construction of the line. The line in the foreground is the Midland Counties Railway line from Leicester to Rugby. The MCR bridge number (41A) can be seen in this image. The brick arch bridge in the middle distance still exists, although the cutting in between has been severed by the embankment of the M1 Motorway.
