I was rather preoccupied when the dining car express returned from Leicester North on Sunday 26th September 2021. I did notice that it was hauled by 78018 but it failed to register that it was facing north. Stupid man! I was therefore surprised when the 15:30 from Loughborough to Leicester North came into view on the approach to Rushey Lane hauled by tender first BR Standard Class 2MT 2-6-0 78018.
