DSC09110a 66756 6E48 0128 Bardon Hill GBRF to Tinsley Yard GBRF
The daily Bardon Hill to Tinsley normally takes around five hours leaving Leicestershire around 01:30 arriving at Tinsley yard just before 06:30. Looking this morning the train was over 230 minutes late leaving Knighton Junction having been 15 minute early leaving Bardon Hill. A long time to run around. The upshot was I was ruing being on the school run as I would miss its unusually late passage through Sheffield around 08:30. In the end it was held to take a familiar departure slot after the xx:56 northbound Voyager, the slot normally taken up by the Tunstead Drax an hour earlier, and with a fair wind ended up as just manageable with a timely bus.
A further bonus was the return was during my lunch hour.
