Great Central Railway Leicester Leicestershire 21st October 2020

            It's half-term in Leicester and the GCR are running mid-week trains again. We were rostered on the Wednesday afternoon turn and thought that we would be crewing Black 5 45305. However it had failed the evening before due to a weeping fusible plug and British Railways Standard 2 78018 was substituted.

78018 is seen at Leicester North after we had run round our train - the 13.50 from Quorn - and were waiting to return to Quorn & Woodhouse. The platform is empty because in these Covid times passengers are not allowed to alight.

Not many photographers about on this grey, wet day.
