With the post of Sleaford's Castle Causway level crossing to the right, a Cravens Class 105 DMU enters the town working the 12.38 Doncaster to Ely service. E51286 leads E56444 off the one hundred and eighty degrees curve from Sleaford North Junction in order to reach the station rather than take the avoider. Of note in this photograph is the number of point rods in the foreground operated by Sleaford West signal box just to my right. Both the cars of this Cravens DMU did another ten years of service before withdrawal came in 1990 with the latter spending its final eight years as a route learner numbered TDB977125.
