I tell my heritage shooter friends that their pics do them no good sitting in the closet, to upload them on railpictures.net for the world to see. I am glad you did and are.

The train is the summer dated Saturdays only 1E69 1045 Poole to Bradford, it was routed via Penistone and Hudderfield. Usually hauled by a Low Moor Jubilee, it used a NE set of coaches (as on this train) one week and the next a SR set. Great to see it and thanks for posting it. I more or less had this view for three years as signalman at Barnsley but a lot had changed.

I think pretty much everything in this photo has now gone, bar maybe some of the background building. Interesting to see the railway bridge abutments of the Midland line to Barnsley Court House Station
