No Thaw Today

            The 29th December 1995 will be forever etched in my memory. Duchess of Hamilton was visiting the Great Central Railway, and booked to run in the period after Christmas until New Year. This was the third day of operations, and the perfect weather: full sun and a very sharp hoar frost., so sharp in fact, that Loughborough Central was iced up, and commencement of services delayed by nearly two hours until the pointwork thawed out. I was lucky, as my chosen location, by the A6 road bridge was in shade until just before Duchess of Hamilton eventually appeared. The day, although sunny throughout, did not get any warmer with the frost persisting all day, as seen here at Woodthorpe, with No. 46229 hauling the final departure from Loughborough  top Leicester North just before sunset.
