The 12.25 London King's Cross to Leeds 1D14 has yet to go over to Azuma with it still being formed by a Mk. IV set, on this winter day led by 91128 'InterCity 50'. The train is seen passing Gill's Crossing, a popular walking route in the village of Offord Cluny. Ironically, as it is so popular, I suspect that it is one that will soon be closed as Network Rail continues on its seemingly obsessive mission to close all access points. 91128 was one of the last class 91s to be released into traffic at the start of 1991 meaning it is coming up for thirty years old, I wonder, at the time of writing, if it will celebrate this landmark birthday but in the hands of another operator and on a different route?
