View northward, towards Hitchin and the North; ex-Great Northern ECML. The train is probably from Cambridge, via Hitchin, to King's Cross, typically - in those days - headed by a B1 4-6-0, No. 61099. This was a two-track bottleneck on the ECML, which still exists today owing to the cost of duplicating a large viaduct and two tunnels.
