East Coast Trains.

Image
     East Coast HST sets out non stop for Kings Cross. Loco 91114 has two pantographs as seen above. This was an experiment in "belt and braces" thinking. I have never seen the second pantograph in use.  An up express enters York station from the north past the Scarborough bridge worksite.

Bescot 1963.

LNWR 0-8-0 approaches Bescot from the North with a mixed freight. Walsall gasworks can be seen on the skyline. Class 5 approaches the station from the South, probably bound for the shed. So far there is little evidence of the extensive modernization of the marshalling yard. Two LNWR 0-8-0s behind the station.
