Converging Lines at 1 o'clock
A couple of would-be passengers take a passing interest as DB Cargo Tug no. 60063 restarts from Nottingham after a crew change a few yards behind me.
The train is the 10.34am Kingsbury - Humber Oil Refinery discharged tanks (6E54), the consist for which is so long that it cannot be isolated within the station without blocking movements to and from other platforms. Happily, pragmatism rules and the crew change takes place beside the main footbridge, thus saving everyone a walk to the end of the platform.
If rivet counting is your thing, then this just might be the shot for you with those splendid Victorian awning supports. The ornate brickwork isn't so shabby either.
