70013 FINAL DAY IN SERVICE BEFORE WITHDRAWAL:On a very dull New Year's Eve 2018, BR Britannia 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' with 'The East Anglian' headboard relives its Great Eastern heyday as it crosses Swithland Viaduct GCR at the head of the 13.00 Loughborough - Leicester North..It was also the final day for lineside photo permits at the GCR before they were withdrawn. Swithland Viaduct was out of bounds to photographers due to limited clearance, so this image was taken off the end of the viaduct using a pole mounted camera..
