A blast from the past.

Last week I started scanning my old negatives. These images are the first and they date back to 1988. We spent a few hours away from a caravan holiday to watch the coal trains at Worksop station (along with a few local passenger trains).

Most of these trains were in the hands of class 56s at that time.

Here one is reversing its train into the sidings on the left.

The driver is waiting for the road over the level crossing here.

The service from Sheffield to Retford was in the hands of these DMUs.

Class 20s in pairs were also to be seen on the coal trains.
