After our evening meal at the Youth Hostel in Grantham we went out again. Simon went to the station and I went up to South Parade bridge to the south of the town. Here, 55002 'The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry' climbs away from Grantham as it begins the assault of Stoke Bank with the 1E13 15.10 Edinburgh to King's Cross. Behind the train is the parts and service department of Aveling Barford’s former factory that made all sorts of heavy plant equipment whilst the town of Grantham basks behind in the evening sunshine.
