A London bound train heads East through Bardon Mill Station.  A train of aviation fuel passes bound for Prestwick. A northbound train passes heading west. Tanks for Fort William head west.  A local stopping train pulls away from Bardon Mill station bound for Newcastle. Another Azuma bound for Scotland.

The latter are working some suburban services out of Manchester. The end doors were incorporated to enable evacuation of the trains if they failed in the tunnel sections through central London.
