The hillside in this shot must be the only feature which is relatively little changed since 1971. Mk 1 coaches hauled by rail blue 47s passing telegraph poles are all long gone, while both the A1 road in the background and the ECML have been realigned hereabouts. Brush Type 4 1706 has just emerged from Penmanshiel Tunnel with the 17:10 Edinburgh - Leeds.
