Colas Rail top and tail class 67s, Nos. 67023 Stella and 67027 Charlotte passed through Fiskerton yesterday afternoon with the Network Rail test train, performing a somewhat circuitous journey from Derby to Doncaster. The November sun was already low in the sky and it was a bit parky standing around, after the train had lost its path at Nottingham to be stuck behind a bug cart, making it 20 minutes later than scheduled.
While I was waiting, a red kite flew right over my head but when I tried to photograph it my camera went dead with a flat battery, so I had to take the train on my phone. On the plus side, the foot-long crack in the car windscreen didn’t get any worse while I was out. I had completed my bike ride for the day during the morning, passing this obsolete petrol pump on the way. Already a bit of a local feature, it now also stands as an omen of things to come for petrol pumps everywhere.
