This light engine was running early because the East Midlands Liverpool - Norwich train it should have followed along the Hope Valley was almost an hour late! Waiting for a service on the Midland mainline to clear Dore Station Junction before heading north through Sheffield. The section through Dore & Totley station was singled in 1985 and the remaining platform (from previous 4) shortened from the position of the signals. Plans to redouble this section and lengthen the platform again go back to at least 2005. The Hope Valley Caapcity Improvement Scheme set out plans to do that by the end of 2018. The latest update pushed that back to 2023. Now, who knows!
