It's good to see that Stamford station still retains its

original wrought iron and timber footbridge with so many having been swept away to be replaced by ghastly modern and over-engineered structures. Under clear blue skies but, unfortunately, in the shade, Cross Country's 170115 arrives with the 07.21 Stansted Airport to Birmingham New Street service. This train was busy and it begs the question as to whether a two-car DMU is an appropriate formation for a service such as this?
