Passing interest
Another shot from the series taken on 5th July 1976, again at Attenborough station, where you can see the then wooden waiting shelter on the up platform, complete with fire buckets!
It's hard to make out from this angle but I'm inclined to think the lady may be in possession of a Moulton bicycle - quite innovative and fashionable in the day, and spawning a number of similar variants all intended to make cycling a more convenient pastime, especially when combined with a commute using other forms of transport.
Typical freight action is seen in the form of a pair of class 20s approaching with a coal train, albeit unusually short, which is probably headed for Toton Yard. The locos are 20151 (which I believe was still in green livery) and 20160.
Although it was cloudy the shot was taken into the prevailing light so needed a bit of work to lift the detail. There are two or three more shots to come from this set which will be uploaded over the next few weeks.
