I pondered what to do next? While D123 was in Quorn Station 48305 had returned light engine to Loughborough with the DALEX but 78018 must have had a very long wait for single line access to Leicester North. I moved to the Station Road Bridge as, from there, I could see the signals in both directions. Eventually 78018 crawled into the station just about at the time when it should have been leaving Loughborough with the 12:50 up.
