158852 passes Drore's single platform in the spring sunshine working the 09.57 Norwich to Liverpool Lime Street. It is now on the trans-Pennine Hope Valley route leaving behind the Midland line that heads south towards Derby that can be seen to the right. Dore station is a shadow of itself with it once boasting four platforms that served both the Midland tracks and the doubled Hope Valley route. Plans are under discussion to expand the station once again with route enhancements to improve both freight and passenger train capacity.
