72. Blackpool Illuminations-Pride of the North!-03.11.18

A lovely and bright autumn morning so I went out to see a curiously named excursion, the 'Blackpool Illuminations-Pride of the North!' It's name say is it all really, a train carrying customers to Blackpool to see the famous lights with a late evening return! I drove the short distance on the Northampton cut-off near the village of Milton Malsor and, because of the sun being in the wrong position, I opted for a side-on position. As I was waiting, I had the bonus of two DRS 37s heading south from Crewe.
