Class 111 vehicles 78711 and 78960 with the 14:45 Sheffield - Cleethorpes at Thorne Junction on 25 September 1987. Dave Warby Collection.

On a very dark January 26th 1983, Metro-Cammell power twin E50280 + E50275 loads up at March whilst working the 10.38 Doncaster - Cambridge. It was unusual to see a power twin set in East Anglia and this one was based at Leeds Neville Hill depot. Two months earlier these services had been diverted via Peterborough following closure of the joint line from March to Spalding. Gerard Fletcher.
