222018, EM 12.00 Sheffield-London St. Pancras (1C42, 48L), Irchester SP927667
222018 sweeps around the curve at Irchester as it commences
the climb to Sharnbrook summit working the very late 12.00 Sheffield to St. Pancras. This service left Sheffield on-time but something went wrong in the Chesterfield area and by Derby it was even worse. It eventually arrived into St. Pancras some 48 minutes late. In the image the fresh ballast of the recently reinstated up slow line can be seen as well as some of newly installed electrification masts.
