54231 & 51901 Elmesthorpe 11 June 1989

Chester Depot's set CH256 (54231 & 51901) passes Elmesthorpe on 11 June 1989 with the 09:57 Birmingham New Street to Leicester Regional Railways service. This was a surprise, as it was supposed to be a Sprinter. Another indication that this unit is away from its normal area is the Alderley Edge destination blind. Cheshire is a long way from Leicestershire! The bridge in the background is the M69 Leicester to Coventry motorway.
