153813 sits at Skegness' platform 4 waiting to leave with

the 15.09 to Nottingham. The light was appalling by this stage in the day, even though it was actually the middle of the afternoon! Skegness station has seen much rationalisation over the years, the canopies seen here are the only ones remaining on the station that once saw tens of thousands of passengers using it every summer. Most holiday makers originated from the East Midlands, with many form Nottingham and Derby traditionally visiting the town for their 'week in the sun' with most coming by train.
