Unfortunately strong biting winds and frequent snow showers deterred allotment holders from tending their plots adjacent to the Hindlow Branch in Buxton on 17th March 2018 and so they missed the spectacle of a steam hauled passenger train to distract them from their labours. With 45407 (running as 45157) leading and 45690 at the rear the train climbs the 1 in 60 gradient.
