55008, 17.05 London King`s Cross-Hull (1D04), The Hull Executive, Rankskill SK661878 As the afternoon progressed, the weather improved with some welcome sunshine by early evening. 55008 'The Green Howards' is at full speed passing Ranskill with the 17.05 King's Cross to Hull, the fabled Hull Executive. I have deliberately taken the picture a little early for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted the c.1875 Great Northern signal box in the image and secondly, my Zenith camera had a paltry maximum shutter speed of 1/500th second so if the train had been much closer it would have been very blurred! The box still stands and, at the time of writing, is in use containing a mini-panel monitoring all of the crossings between Bawtry and Gamston. Notice the milepost just in front of the Deltic indicating that Ranskill crossing is one hundred and forty-four miles from London.
