ECML Peterborough to Newark

This section of the East Coast Main Line takes in a very famous stretch of track, Stoke Bank, the scene of A4 locomotive 4468 Mallard's world steam speed record breaking romp on 3rd July 1938. No high speed steam on this day but plenty of high speed in general both down and UP Stoke Bank. A nice sunny day was in the offing and I was set for a good day. 30/3/2004

    After a long wait in the station at Newark North Gate, 67019 finally gets away with an unusual empty stock move. It has a pair of mkI slam door third rail 4 CEP EMU's, 1563 and 1556, on the drawbar enroute to Immingham for scrapping.
    67019 takes 1563 and 1556 on their last journey, 5Z10 1330 Ramsgate to Immingham ECS, for scrapping. They make clearly the shot of the day. A pair of class 411, 4 CEP, on the ECML and the famous flat crossing at Newark.  Time to call it a great day.
