43055 Grove 29 November 2022

43055 passes Grove in miserable conditions of 29 November 2022 with the Midland Pullman 1Z53 06:03 Newcastle to Bath Spa 'Bath Christmas Pullman' railtour. 43046 Geoff Drury 1930-1999 is bringing up the rear. With absolutely no possibility of the sun coming out, I visited this normally hopelessly lit location, knowing that the gap was just long enough for a nine coach HST.
