54388 & 51208 Wennington (New England Bridge) 12 December 1985

54388 & 51208 pass Wennington (New England Bridge) on 12 December 1985 with the 12:53 Peterborough to Hitchin service. Work had just started on the electfrication of the East Coat Mainline, but posts had only so far been erected on the west side of the line. I expect the hillside in the distance was an excellent spot to watch Deltics thrashing round the reverse curves near Wood Walton in the 1970s.
