Mound Tunnels
Although this particular day was a Saturday, the 11.50 Freightliner service from Aberdeen to Kings Cross, depicted here behind Brush Type 4 No. D1997, was a regular working through Waverley station on most days. The train ran 'Fridays excepted', presumably because the main traffic was perishables for the London markets, and the Saturday working was particularly interesting in that it recessed for almost 24 hours at Gosforth (can anyone explain why
there?) before continuing on its way to London at 16.50 on the Sunday afternoon.
