View northward, towards Hitchin and the North; ex-Great Northern ECML. The Up relief express is headed by A3 Pacific No. 60065 'Knight of Thistle'. The two-track stretch of the ECML over Welwyn Viaduct and the two tunnels north of Welwyn North station remains a serious bottleneck - too expensive to widen, but was a paradise for railway photographers.
