Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 29 Jun 2020
The rear power car (no. 43357) of a Cross Country high-speed train operating the 11.27 Plymouth to Newcastle approaching Leeds at 16.53. Due to Coronavirus the company was running a reduced timetable with no trains running beyond Newcastle into Scotland. Compare Image taken on a weekday a few years earlier with cars parked both sides of the road - there were none on this occasion, as few businesses had started up again yet. The present bridge here is a metal span carrying two tracks, presumably replacing an older structure.
