Scenes that are unimaginable today at Wellington station in Shropshire. With snow still lying on the ground, 40144 waits at the platform having arrived with The Crewe Campaigner Relief Railtour that started out form London Paddington. There are a few orange waist-coated marshals about to keep order but the enthusiasts seem to have free reign to wander about and get their pictures. Notice that there is even one who has climbed the signal post to get his shot, I wonder if the picture that he took is still in existence?
