37401 37402 3J51 inside_Filey station 1 Nov 2021

The coveted Filey trainshed night portrait...I personally have waited since 2008 for the opportunity to make a locomotive portrait in here, having watched class 31 hauled test trains pass through without making the booked stop due to late running. In 2021 the returning East Yorkshire and Wolds Coast RHTT, a new circuit, is booked to wait at Filey for an opposing Scarborough to Sheffield service, 20:06 to 20:15 on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, also on Saturday. This provides for a decent photo opportunity beneath George Townsend Andrews 1846 York and North Midland Railway trainshed, helped considerably by sympathetic parking of the train by the train crew. Here is 37401 Mary Queen of Scots with 3J51, tailed by 37402 on the 1st of November 2021.

Did a night go past where there was no one waiting for this train here, from the beginning of October to the 11th of December ,the final day this occurred?
