Under clear signals Deltic no. 55006 "The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry" demands attention as she hurries south through Retford with the 09.35 Newcastle - Kings Cross (1A17).
It's a scene that has changed considerably since this shot was taken - the semaphore signals and attractive platform buildings on the left have long gone, and the line slewed over as part of the electrification and upgrade programme to the East Coast Mainline.
Usual thanks to the excellent "Chronicles of Napier" website for loco movements...... napier-chronicles.co.uk
