17th June 2018 - Great Central Railway, Loughborough to Leicester, Leicestershire
Peaks have always been a favourite of mine, my familiarity with them being most memorable in the very early '80s when operating cross country trains that I and my friends would "bash" between Exeter and Newton Abbot, plus a week-long East Midlands Rover ticket in August 1982 being put to great use on the Midland main line!

This is 45125 in its earlier, and original, condition as D123, and carrying the name "Leicestershire & Derbyshire Yeomanry", a name that originally belonged to a Class 46, Laira-based 46026, a loco that was very familiar to me at the time too.

It's arriving at Quorn & Woodhouse station at 10.59 on a train from Rothley to Loughborough, with Class 25 no. D5185 on the rear.
