Rothley
BR Standard 2MT 2-6-0 78018, waiting in a siding at Rothley on 4th August 2018. Because of fire restrictions steam trains arriving here would run straight through Rothley Station to just past the southern set of points. Here, the incoming train engine came off the train and the light engine came out of the siding, coupled on the carriages and drew them into the Station for the return to Loughborough. The ex-train engine retired to the siding to await the next train and so it went on all day. In between all this the 3 car DMU set ran to and from Leicester North.
