57 307 heads a train of ex-Virgin Mk II stock on a footex



47 744 pauses at Doncaster with an up VSOE charter from Harrogate to London Victoria



The photographer was clearly trespassing when he caught this image of 67 004 sweeping north with a Virgin XC holiday extra from South Devon



Now safely behind the boundary fence, a GNER HST hurtles north under power



Heading south a DRS 47 trundles along with a train of empty car flats



A signal failure brings 60 016 and its rake of loaded MGR wagons to a halt beside the photographer whilst the hand-signaller telephones Doncaster PSB seeking authority for the train to proceed.



A few moments later permission is granted to proceed under caution and the driver utilises the power of 60 016 to the full as she restarts her heavy train

A Midland Mainline Class 170 heads north along the ECML with an additional service from St. Pancras



47 787 restarts a train of rolled steel from a signal stop with a down train



37 699 pulls out of Doncaster with a southbound minerals train



A GNER HST disturbs the tranquility of the afternoon drinkers at the White Swan Inn - the trainspotters favourite pub!

An up GNER HST service pauses at Doncaster station as passengers shelter from the cold in the waiting room



Virgin's 57 301 awaits its next thunderbird duty in Doncaster's platform 2



A rather fresh (and superbly modelled by Hornby) 31 118 grumbles away to itself on an engineers' train. As we head into Summer, the lay by is becoming busy with trainspotters!
