Having been held directly behind the previous Paignton working led by 47129, 50035 'Ark Royal' has just been given the road by the signalman in Aller Junction signal box. The driver has just opened up the power handle on the locomotive to get the train going again but shuts it down after he has passed hot on the heels of the previous train. For many, 50035 was the doyen of the class and would enter Doncaster works two months from when this photograph was taken for its much-needed refurbishment.
There is an audio recording of this event on my youtube channel, see.....
