20th Feb 1997

Another southbound coal move, with Transrail Calss 56 no. 56071 passing at 10.18. It's hard to accept that the coal trains have more or less gone, 56071 has gone (scrapped 2011) and you can't even drive your car into the old station yard and stand where I am standing, on the old loading dock platform! 56071 spent a while in France with operator Fertis, before meeting its maker at TJ Thompson's scrapyard.
