46012 800517 Hay lane Bridge 1321 LLSt-Ply
A rather careworn 46012 runs south with the 1321 Liverpool-Plymouth train on 17th May 1980 at Hay Lane Bridge nr Droitwich on the Worcester avoiding line. At this point it was 4 years since it's last shopping and was due a major exam, which never came.
This engine was one of the few Peaks to not lose it's headcode panel being withdrawn not long after this picture was taken.
It reportedly had a cracked frame which was discovered during an exam in July and with the first inroads being made into the class that was enough for it's downfall. It never even got acessed for repair just carted off to Swindon to be cut. It did not last long being cut in October of the same year.

Greetland Junction, near Halifax
Thanks to a friendly signalman this shot was taken from Greetland signalbox, near Halifax. Class 37 D6928 (later 37228 and 37696) pulls a single parcels van from Wakefield to Halifax.
The line branching in the foreground leads to a small oil terminal. The train itself will branch off the CV main line immediately after passing the signalbox and take the steep incline up to Dryclough Junction, Halifax. Greetland is actually two or three miles away. The signalbox I am in was originally Greetland No2. The line used to branch to the right immediately behind the parcels van.
