This image of 50017 'Royal Oak' is a little spoilt by some motion blur but presents an impressive sight as it passes under Aller Junction's six doll (with four still in use) down gantry. The Class 50 was leading the 10.23 Manchester to Plymouth 1V82 service that the girl on the bike riding along the adjacent A380 appears to be racing! 50017 was the third member of the class to be refurbished at Doncaster re-entering service on 05.02.80.
