Good evening, David. That is a fantastic set of photo’s of Grantham. J5621, of a Class 47 on a Newcastle to Kings Cross service, in January, 1977, is a beautifully composed shot and the 47 is seen producing a thick column of exhaust as it starts the train away from the station. The black and white photo’s at Radford are an exceptional selection.

The last photo’ of Waterloo Junction, with a 4CEP on a Charing Cross to Hastings service, and a 4EPB on a Dartford to Charing Cross service, in March, 1975, is full of atmosphere.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, Mick, I don’t know what to say about that photo’, but on looking at another photo’ which I bought from the RCTS, the buildings in the background seem to be the same ones that are in that photo’. That plan indicates it is not Withernsea, so I am in a quandary about it. I will try and do more research this week, and see what might turn up.
