Spalding - 66571 on Route learning
A miserable day on the trains, with 4O55 and the Test train passing here in the midst of a blizzard whilst I sheltered in the car! The Selby 4L78 was also two hours late, and so not seen.
Here just north of the station from the public footbridge is 66571 on one of Freightliner's route learning runs.
The track to the right ending in buffers is all that remains here of the former GN East Lincolnshire line, which reached Grimsby via Boston and Louth. A small length remains as well north of Boston to just south of Firsby and is used by the Skegness services.
