    It is a Thursday and I am at work, out of the office, trackside on the Nottingham - Newark line.

    A Saturday with just this one photograph which I suspect is because this trip to Grantham was actually to visit my friend of now 70 years, Phil for a weekend of sampling the pubs and nightlife of his home town.

    Minor correction; your image of 40027 exiting Mound Tunnel is the wrong end as its actually exiting from Carlton Tunnel at the east end of the station; Mound Tunnel is at the West end of the station leading into Princess Street Gardens.
