DMU 156408 departing Mansfield
Nottingham bound, DMU 156408 departing Mansfield for its next stop, Sutton Park.
All around summer abounds and nature thrives, but there's something sad about the scene to my eyes.
Despite the distant modernised station and tele-coms mast, it has an air of a Britain long lost, the feel of the industrial Britain I once knew and loved, and here I still sense its lingering presence.
Just occasionally I come by such locations that when the conditions are right, I am overwhelmed and whisked back to another time, no matter how fleeting.
