    Not quite how it happened at Masborough, but still remarkable to get within a few minutes of this in 2018.

    We must have said hello? But I think you did a better job with combining the pics than I did.

    If you're messing about with an image this much, I don't think there are really any limits. I did decide that life is too short to replace the platform canopies and felt that replacing the footbridge would rather obscure the view. ;)

    I was on it, what intresting details are you after. We were I think the only train over Harringworth Viaduct that day as the snow was pretty heavy just beyond it.

    I seem to remember reading that due to the inclement weather they may have taken some regular Thameslink passengers from St. Albans to Luton & or Bedford. I do know some of the stewards who were on it, if you need to know I can ask them.

    I don't remember hearing anything about the 47 brakes but I do remember hearing we picked some Thameslink passengers although I think they accidentally boarded. Galfiator's stewards friends should know for certain.
