Early Start
One of the advantages of living in London in the 1980s was that peak hour restrictions generally didn't apply to early morning trains leaving the capital, making it practical to travel by rail to photo locations many miles away without taking out a bank loan. That was how I found myself at Chinley on the morning of 13 February 1985, photographing 31425 passing with 1E34, the 09:41 from Manchester to Hull.
