I'll be off then. The guard on the 15.26 Flying Dutchman to Lincoln see image 45162 checks for any late running passengers before weighing anchor. The W H Smith bookshop just visible on the left has a lot to answer for. I bought Alan Williams' acerbic tome 'Not the Age of the Train' there about 1984 - this rather kindled my interest in railways - the rest, as they say, is history.
