This is 08-202 one of the once ubiquitous class 08 diesel electric shunters that were to be found everywhere on the network. In typical fashion this was rumbling away with nobody obviously in attendance. I well remember that Huddersfield Station had one in a bay - it was always running but I'm not sure if I ever saw it move. By now it was raining (just like the previous Sunday).
