A photograph full of interest and one that is instantly recognisable for its location. 55022 'Royal Scots Grey' comes off-shed by making a number of movements over the complicated network of track in the foreground to then attach to the front of the 1S21 11.00 to Edinburgh. In the background is Scot and Barlow's instantly recognisable train shed and one of the gasometers that were a familiar site as you entered St. Pancras station on the Midland. One of King's Cross' station pilot class 31s can be seen awaiting its next turn of duty.
