Under glorious spring skies, 43257 'Bounds Green' leads 43312 forming the 07.55 Inverness to King's Cross. The train is about to pass over Barnby Lane level crossing, the most northerly of the three in the village of Claypole. The leading power car was one of the two that made up the Eastern Region pioneer set, 254001, that was launched on the ECML in July 1977. I believe that this power car has been earning its keep on this route ever since clocking up millions of miles in the process; I wonder if anybody has any figures?
