The Pathfinder 'North Eastern Christmas Markets' charter at Masbrough Station - 2878/884

            The next working, an E.C.S., should have come through shortly after departure of the 'Markets Charter', it departing a few minutes before mid-day, but it was running about 20 minutes late, so it meant hanging about in quite cold conditions, with nothing else on offer until then.. This is another of the occasional E.C.S. move from Gascoigne Wood, a loco having been sent up earlier to haul this lot south towards the Derby area. In this first shot, a D.B. Schenker class 66, 66194, still in old EWS maroon and gold livery, can be seen hauling a rake of 6, 'Riviera Mk2a Carriages', in blue and cream southwards along the old platform 4, freight line, through Masbrough Station. A lot of the graffiti on the station window boards has been 'browned-out' again but the material on the local relay room at the end near Midland Road bridge, persists; it seems to be a never-ending repainting job at this location. This is the 5Z45, Knottingley Sidings to Burton-on-Trent Wetmore Sidings Empty Coaching Stock move and, over on the main passenger lines at left, heading north on the platform 1 line is T.P.E. class 185, 185124, on the 1B72, Manchester Piccadilly to Cleethorpes service; these services have become rather unreliable in recent weeks, some even terminating at Meadowhall on the return workings.. New platform edge flagstones look set to be laid and over on the far left, the old station freight only, 'back-line', looks as overgrown as it ever did, not potential use having been made of it... as speculated a year or two ago.
