37515 at Sudforth Lane ready to take the tour to Roxby Gullet 230794

            23rd July 1994 was a blisteringly hot day. Hertfordshire Railtours operated their Roxby Music tour to the freight-only lie to Roxby Gullet that day. The tour was beset by misery from early on with  all three power station loops - Eggborough, Drax & Ferrybridge unavailable for one reason or another, but we did make it to Roxby Gullet. We did not, however, make it back! Keadby Canal swing bridge buckled in the heat and would not close properly. I bailed at Scunthorpe for a taxi to Doncaster where I had parked; the tour eventually arrived back at Kings Cross at 01.20 next day! Certainly a day to remember.
