Utilising my 135mm telephoto lens fitted to my Pentax ME Super 55007 ‘Pinza’ is seen tearing down Stoke bank approaching Essendine leading the 1A08 08.07 York to King’s Cross service. The train is composed of air-braked ETH stock with a BG marshalled, as usual, at the front. It is the wide open unbroken views of the ECML in locations such as this that I remember so fondly; it’s not the same today with the wires in place, palisade fencing and the smart-looking but, rather dull, Azumas passing this same spot but you cannot prevent progress I suppose!
