This was unexpected!
43007 passes Westhouses with a northbound Inter City Cross Country service, diverted from Derby via Toton and the Erewash Valley due to a problem on the Ambergate line.
It is passing the former Tibshelf sidings, with the rusty remaining single line that was last used by trains from Silverhill colliery, which closed October 1992.
43007 had recently been transferred from B.R. Inter City Great Western to Cross Country at this time, and became one of the celebrity powers cars towards the end of Cross Country HST's and was painted in B.R. Inter City 125 yellow & blue.
It worked the farewell rail tour to Swanage (along with 43008) in September 2023.
It was exported to Mexico in February 2024.
