Picture of the Day
Europhoenix-livered Class 37/6 No. 37601 Perseus brightens the scene on the North Staffordshire route on an autumnal but damp 15 October 2018, as it powers the ROG-operated working 5Q42, the 07.56 Old Dalby to Crewe C.S., formed of a nine-car Bombardiert Class 345 'Aventra' No. 345051. The train is pictured shortly after passing through the staggered platforms of Tutbury and Hatton station, which opened in 1989 - the original Tutbury station having closed to passenger traffic in 1966 and was famous for being the terminating point of the Push and Pull 'Tutbury Jinnie' service from Burton-on-Trent until it was withdrawn in June 1960 . On the left of the picture rationalisation of the railway infrastructure has seen a housing development built upon what was formerly railway sidings and both sides of the main Derby to Crewe route are now lined with ever-growing hedgerows.
