Great Central Railway Rothley Leicestershire 21st June 2017

Ex-Nuneaton engine shed one and all. Driver Fred and Fireman John were both firemen at Nuneaton in the early 1960s and British Railways Standard 2 2-6-0 78018 spent a short period on the shed (albeit never actually steaming!) in 1966. Here they are all taking a breather at the platform end at Rothley with the mid-week GCR train back to Loughborough.
