Diesel-hauled Up Midland Main Line express near Millbrook.
View northward, towards Bedford and the North; ex-Midland St Pancras - Leicester - Sheffield main line. The 10.25 Manchester Central - St Pancras is unusually headed by a pair of Metropolitan-Vickers 1,200 hp Type 2 (later Class 28) Co-Bo Diesel-electrics, Nos. D5703 + D5710. Introduced in 8/58, only 20 of these unusual locomotives were built: they were handicapped by limited route availability and frequently broke down, so lasted only 11 years in BR service.
