66775 'HMS Argyll' leads the relatively lightly loaded 08.30 6E84 Middleton Towers to Monks Bretton sand train. It is seen, taken in tricky lighting, about to cross Frinkley Lane crossing, previously a level crossing now closed to all but pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. We had been waiting for this train for some time as it was held over at the top of Stoke bank in the loop waiting for a slot to enter the two-track section so as to avoid holding up down passenger express workings.
