Almost a picture of passing diverted GNER trains at Stockton Cut Junction on 3 April 1999. 43120 heads south with the 1E12 09:55 Aberdeen to Kings Cross 'Northern Lights' service, while the 1S24 12:00 Kings Cross to Inverness 'Highland Chieftain' disappears into the distance. Both trains were diverted away from the East Coast Mainline due to engineering works near Darlington. Houses now occupy the waste ground seen in the background.
