‘Now I stand here waiting’

 

Blue Monday is an unusual track in that its title doesn’t occur anywhere in the lyrics.

 

The title comes from the science fiction book ‘Goodbye Blue Monday’ by Kurt Vonnegut. Monday was a traditional day on which to wash clothes and the title is a reference to how the invention of the washing machine banished wash day blues!

 

The previous time I went for this picture a Class 150 pulled in and blocked my view just as the Class 68 arrived. As I stood waiting today, I thought I was in for a repeat show as a Class 802 approached. Thankfully on this occasion the view cleared!

 

A sight to banish the blues on any day of the week as 68021 ‘Tireless’ calls at Garforth with 1E27 07:54 Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough on Saturday 18.01.2020
