‘Scene’ Trains in Doncaster on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

As a lad, I spent many happy hours at ‘Donny’ trainspotting so it brings back many memories of A4’s, V2’s and the rest. 

 

Class 91 ‘Virgin East Coast’ No. 91107. ‘Skyfall’. Electric locomotive built at ‘BREL’, Crewe

on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk

 

This is the only time I have seen a 91 hauling a train ‘blunt’ end first. Presumably there was something amiss with either the back of the loco (which is normally at the rear travelling Southward) or with the front of the Driving Trailer which is directly behing the loco.
