Hatfield & Stainforth, Thorpe Marsh & Kirk Sandall - 6178+81

            * Hatfield & Stainforth
This one could be called "Don't know if I'm Coming or Going" as Colas operated Network Rail Test Train set, with class 950, 950001, here at the rear with a DBSO leading, trundles along the Down Slow, the line passing closest to the now defunct Hatfield Mine on the left and its now rusty siding passing underneath the coal bunker; all ready to load... not any more. All seems so convenient and coal trains still pass through here, but now with foreign coal loaded in Scotland or more locally at Immingham, coming through here en-route to one of the few coal powered generating stations in the area, Cottam or West Burton. The canary-yellow Infrastructure Monitoring train passes on the 2Q08, 09:02 departure from Doncaster West Yard then via 'all over', here, Thorpe Marsh, Temple Hirst, Gascoigne Wood, Joan Croft, Thorne, Kirk Sandall, Maltby, Dinnington, Worksop and then back via Retford, Cottam Power Station, Worksop, Dinnington and so to West Yard at 5pm this evening. Not exactly an interesting set, was hoping for the Colas Orange and Yellow class 27s top-and-tailing a proper coach set, so the pit-head gear will have to make up for it and there wasn't too much else on offer in the 4 hours in the area; here and then heading further south towards Doncaster. In the right-hand picture, having spent the designated 5 minutes at Thorne Junction, off in the distance under the M18 road bridge, reversing, the set comes back with the 'engine' at the front, class 950, 950001, with the crew once again glancing up at the sole enthusiast in this now quite station. I say quiet, that is disregarding the heated, 4-letter works slanging match going on at the side of the station on one of the lanes down to the nearby horse-paddocks; all very charming and appeared to be about nothing important; easily 'kindled' are some folk!
