9F's 'Thunderous Departure' - Quorn and Woodhouse, Leicestershire - 17.4.2021
It's now 10.10am on Saturday 17th April 2021 where we see Riddles designed BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 No. 92214 Leicester City departing from Quorn and Woodhouse, Great Central Railway (GCR), Leicestershire with the day's first passenger return service train to and from Leicester North - following further easing of the COVID travel restrictions.
Indeed a 'Historical Moment'!
A quarter of an hour earlier, it had arrived with its empty 'Sanitised' coaches from Loughborough Central to collect is excited and expectant passengers.
For the time being, four passenger services operate at weekends on Saturdays and Sundays with passengers joining and embarking at Quorn and Woodhouse. After each trip, the empty coaches then return to Loughborough for further 'Sanitisation'.
Pity there's no sound to accompany this image. I suspect the crew wanted to commemorate this 'Momentous Occasion' in some style! So pleased I could share this 'Happy Moment' with you too!
