We could hear 55003 'Meld' thrashing away from Grantham climbing the northern flank of Stoke bank for some time before it entered the cutting here at Little Ponton. By the time it reached us here, leading the 1A28 16.30 Hull to King's Cross, it was going well with just over one hundred miles to go to its destination. 'Meld' looks smart with its white cab surrounds indicating that it was a Finsbury Park Deltic.
