Trains at Crow Nest Junction - 30th May 2023
The usual Northern services on show with the afternoon binliner and a Network Rail MPV on camera here. The wires go up soon so it was nice to see it in the non electric state one last time.
Back in the distant past there was a signal box here too which my grandad did work in amongst others.
