37075 Sheffield 1E57 31st July 1982

37075 permissively shares Sheffield's platform 6 with a DMU after arrival with the 1E57 1353 ex Blackpool North via Copy Pit, Wakefield Kirkgate & Moorthorpe on Saturday 31st July 1982. A day return represented extremely good value for money at £3.75 for 105.83 miles, especially when compared to £4.78 for the 76.35 miles between Peterborough & King's Cross the previous year. This view was taken from the departing 1M88 1710 to St Pancras which I will no doubt have taken to Chesterfield to view 'The Northbound Procession'-I would like to have made the 1657 departure because 1M48 1404 Scarborough-Luton was, that day 37072 to Nottingham. a nice way to head home.
