Bridge Fault
Class 56, 56102 waits in Trent Yard Reception Line, opposite Scunthorpe station, heading Hertfordshire Railtours “Roxby Music” railtour on Saturday 23rd July 1994. The tour was heavily delayed here as Keadby Canal Swing Bridge on the line from here to Doncaster had not closed properly making the track unsafe to proceed. A number of passengers who needed to get back to London disembarked here to board hastily arranged buses to Doncaster to catch the last service train south before engineering work kicked in. The small bonus was everyone could get off and get a photo! The tour finally got clearance to proceed and I arrived back at Peterborough some 3 hours later than planned. 56102 was withdrawn in September 2003 and scrapped at EMR, Hartlepool in September 2010.
