Great Central Railway Rothley Leicestershire 23rd January 2025

Rothley station on the Great Central Railway has been restored as it would have been in the early 20th century and is lit by gas lamps. This gives it a fabulous atmospheric feel in the late evening in winter. Here BR Standard 5 73156 waits to depart for Leicester near the end of a Gala weekend.

An Edwardian HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.

Captures that gas lighted glow wonderfully, and the driver framed in the red glow of his cab. So evocative of bygone railway days.

A fabulous atmosphere certainly! It is really so nice the station is still lit by gas lamps!
Also the driver in the cabin and the steam adds much to the picture!
HBM!

Best wishes
