With the winding gear of the closed Hatfield colliery behind it, an unidentified TPE class 185 passes Hatfield and Stainforth station forming the 1B85 15.26 Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport service. Notice in the foreground the uncontrolled vegetation growth between the running lines at the end of the platforms. By this time next year, these relatively small saplings will be brushing the sides of passing trains. I hope that the Network Rail arborists can get out and do their work before this happens.
