Kirby Bellars Syphon

37510 'Orion' is seen just east of the village of Kirby Bellars on 17th September 2022 with the 5Q73 09:42 Derby Litchurch Lane - Wembley Intercity Depot, conveying C2C unit 720605. The train ran via Spondon, Loughborough and Syston East Junction before running-round in Melton Mowbray Up Loop and then retracing the MML from Syston towards Leicester, in order to turn the orientation of the unit.

 

The fantastic church in the background, of what was once the Kirby Bellars Priory, was built somewhere in the period between 1319 and 1359.
