Darkest Crowthorne
Looking for somewhere different to photograph the test train, I settled on Crowthorne with its 19th Century station building and distinctive platform canopy but hadn't realised that half the platform lights didn't work. Fortunately there was just enough light to capture an image of 73964 passing through with 1Q54, the 12:55 Eastleigh to Tonbridge test train, top'n'tail with 73965.
