D1015 Western Champion accelerates away from a brief unscheduled stop at Goole station (just visible in the background), as it works the Pathfinder Tours 1Z17 05:42 Swindon to Scarborough 'Yuletide East Yorkshireman' railtour on 17 December 2016. I had deliberately chosen this location, as Goole's distinctive 'Salt and Pepper Pot' water towers immediately identify the location. Presumably this is the first time that a Western has visited Goole, as it would certainly have been exceedingly unlikely in BR days. Confirmation anyone? |
