For example: class 153s travel under the A153 between Ruskington and Sleaford.
Any other examples?

I wonder if A4 steam engines ever used the London to Bristol?
The A33?
Not much chance of EMUs being eligible. The ac EMUs are all in the 3xx or 7xx range so not much chance of being south of the Thames. As for dual voltage 3xx classes, the A313 and A319 roads are well into SWR territory, and the A377 connects Exeter to Barnstaple. All of the roads in the A4xx range are west and north of London, so no matches with 4xx classes in DC land. Similarly, there are no DC tracks for class 507s and 508s to run on anywhere in Beds or northants.
The only other option would be if GWR or LNER lent their 80x trains to Scotrail.
But perhaps the 7xxs could go to the Central belt. And 3xx roads get outside the ex-Southern Region A312, A355, A308, A321, A329, A340, A339, A338 all cross AC-electrified GWML (I'm assuming Swindon is wired). There's potential, though though not likelihood.The ac EMUs are all in the 3xx or 7xx range so not much chance of being south of the Thames.
The B470 at Datchet is a possibility if we expand to B roads, but there's no class 470.All of the roads in the A4xx range are west and north of London, so no matches with 4xx classes in DC land.
LNER runs trains to Stirling, if an 801 does that, then it goes under the A801 near Polmont. This one is a definite one to check and see - it's quite likely.The only other option would be if GWR or LNER lent their 80x trains to Scotrail.
