A Deltic in a classic pose, haring along the ECML with its Napiers in full cry! 55010 'The King's Own Scottish Borderer' brings the 14.11 York to King's Cross past Norwell Lane level crossing, one of a number between Newark and Retford. Notice the milepost to the left indicating zero miles, even after studying my superb track atlas book, I can see no reference to a change of mileage on this section of track; can anybody advise? Too small to see on the image, but an enlargement of the original scan reveals a northbound HST disappearing into the distance, Graham and I would probably have cursed its passage back in 1979!
