With the 12.00 King's Cross to Inverness having just vacated platform 2, within a few minutes the 13.47 Aberdeen to King's Cross arrives. 43239 is the leading power car. This was seen earlier in the morning working to Aberdeen almost at the same spot from the footbridge that can be seen up the platforms. At about the time I was taking this image I was asked for my ticket to travel on the steam special and informed that I had to leave this platform as I did not have one. Now, I am an awkward so-and-so and refused that caused quite a stir as I don't think that they were expecting this response. I was informed that the station supervisor would be summoned to deal with me. I moved off before this happened (if it did) because the sun and light would both be completely wrong for photographing the steam special.
