A picture taken by my travelling companion Graham shows 45131 leaving St. Albans with the 09.40 Sheffield to St. Pancras service. It is just passing in front of the signal box. Notice the large Heath and Heather warehouse beyond the station. This building was set up in 1920 by the company, that later was to become Holland and Barrett, to distribute their products by rail around the UK. And finally, yes that person in the distinctive red strippy shirt standing in front of the brute trolley to the left is a fifteen-year-old me!
