D213, outward leg of The Norfolk Coast Express, 06.19 Manchester Piccadilly-Great Yarmouth (1Z75 4L), Harts Drove crossing TL273962
Looking absolutely superb in the bright spring sunshine D213 'Andania'
leads The North Norfolk Express charter past Harts Drove lane near the Fenland village of Whittlesey. The charter left Manchester at 06.19 taking an interesting route via the Hope Valley led all the way by the Class Forty Appeal's locomotive. Wearing its British Railways green livery it does not quite match the InterCity Executive livery of the stock but it would be churlish to complain about the lack of matching stock and locomotive!
