Trbwnegs348 D5305 Hatfield - a photo on Flickriver

Trbwnegs348 D5305 Hatfield

            This one came with a date of July 1958 but as D5305 was new in November 1958 that can't be correct, I have another couple of photos taken in this spot at Hatfield of a 26 and a 21 and suspect the date for all of them is July 1959.
What is interesting about this one is that D5305 is running on the up fast with a set comprising at least some Mark 1's rather than suburban coaches and showing discs for an express service. There are definitely people on the train as well. I am guessing maybe a Peterborough or Cambridge train (did the 26's get to Cambridge?).
D5305 left London for Scotland in May 1960 and spent the rest of it's life there until withdrawl in October 1993. It was cut up by MC Metals of Springburn in February 1995.
