If at first you don't succeed, try again! After having missed the 5M17 10:20 St Pancras International to St Pancras International (via Leicester) route learner by seconds on 23 April 2021, I went back to Manton a few weeks later for a second attempt. This time the weather wasn't as good, but at least I got a picture of 43102 The Journey Shrinker 148.5 mph The World's Fastest Diesel Train, as it approached Manton Tunnel with the final 5M17 working. A corner of Rutland Water can be seen on the right. |
