57313 waits at the rear of the 22.18 King's Cross to Southall empty coaching stock working. The Class 57 will lead the stock from the Lindum Fayre charter that has just arrived at King's Cross with 60009 'Union of South Africa' at the head. It is a testament to the technology in modern digital cameras that a photograph like this can be taken handheld in such poor lighting and still look half good. Try doing this forty years ago using Kodachrome 64, with a tripod required and an exposure would be in the region of twenty-five seconds or so!
