The forecast was for a bright and sunny spring day

but it dawned very grey and misty as seen here at South Kenton station. This actually worked in my favour because if the sun had been out at this time this view would have been straight into it! 66789 'British Rail 1948-1997' heads northwards leading the 04.35 Felixstowe North to Birch Coppice service. The heritage-painted Class 66 looks a little dirty and unkempt which is in marked contrast to the condition that this example is usually kept in.
