60022 "Mallard" standing at Grimsby Town station as the B1, which
has brought the train up the East Lincolnshire line
from its starting point at Alford, reverses through platform 3.

The A4`s were not regular visitors to Grimsby - hence this visit
brought out the crowds.

Now with "Lincolnshire Poacher" headboard the special train from
Alford to Edinburgh stands in platform 2.

Another view of "Mallard" ready to depart for Edinburgh via the
Settle to Carlisle line and the Waverley route.
Many thanks to Bill Gladwell for
confirmation
of date and route.
I would be most interested to hear from
anyone who has more photos of this particular train.
