Surprises on Gamston Bank.

It's been a while since I last visited Gamston Bank (Retford) on the East Coast Main Line, mainly due to the continual procession of Azumas. However, the chance of a few diesels tempted me to spend just over an hour there, and it was well worthwhile! 00:00 GBRf-liveried class 57 no. 57306 ‘Her Majesty’s Railway Inspectorate’ hauls class 379 EMU’s 379003 and 379025 on the 5Q78 Hornsey to Worksop working. 01:06 West Coast Railways 47815 and 57012 form the 0Z78 Darlington to Newark. 02:15 A Grand Central class 221 Voyager on the 1A67 Bradford Interchange to Kings Cross. 03:01 LNER celebrity 801225 ‘Eleanor’ climbs Gamston Bank after a stop at Retford with the 1Y88 Yorks to Kings Cross and passes a 5-car Azuma unit heading north. 04:24 LNER class 91 91124 with the 1D19 Kings Cross to Leeds. 04:47 Two Hull Trains class 802 units form the 1A95 Hull to Kings Cross. 05:45 91110 ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’ on the 1D17 Kings Cross to Leeds. 06:06 A Grand Central class 180 unit forms the 1N85 Kings Cross to Sunderland. 06:49 A Lumo class 803 unit forming the 1S97 Kings Cross to Edinburgh. 07:16 the 1D73 Kings Cross to Bradford Interchange formed of a Grand Central class 180 unit. #railways #trains #locomotive #trainspotting #class57 #class47
