Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 13th September 2017

            The driver's eye view from British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 standing in platform 1 prior to its first run in passenger service since 1967 on the 11.25 to Rothley Brook. There was still 40 minutes to go before departure time so the Starter signal is firmly On. Sadly I was not the fireman!

Note the recently built diesel brake tender in the Down Sidings in the distance.
