47736 Saxilby 25 August 1996

47736 Cambridge Traction & Rolling Stock Depot passes Saxilby on 25 August 1996 with the diverted 1A10 10:40 Leeds to Kings Cross GNER service. Work on the East Coast Mainline required all normally electrically hauled services to be dragged by diesel locos between Doncaster and Newark, via Gainsborough. The fine station building at Saxilby is now used as offices (although the windows appear to be boarded up in this view) and the station is now totally unmanned. As can be seen from the virtually 100% cloud cover, I was very lucky to get the sun with this picture.
