It was a pleasant afternoon to stand around for a bit. Announcements from the public address system drifted over from Southwell racecourse. While I waited for the train to pass through, I was treated to the commentary of the 2.00 p.m. - the MansionBet Proud to Support British Racing Handicap Chase, which was won by Silent Steps. A pair of sparrowhawks put in a brief appearance and three buzzards soared high overhead. They had a much better view of the race than I did standing on the platform, which is shielded from the course by a line of trees. Eventually, Class 60 No. 60001 appeared at the head of the 11.04 from Kingsbury Oil Sidings to Humber Oil Terminal, twenty-five minutes down on its booked time.
