On Saturday 5th December 2020 I arrived at the A6 bridge for my first shot very shortly after John Storer, who kindly updated me about the 8F having been turned. The empty carriage stock was hauled away from Loughborough by Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0 48305 to Quorn where it would form the 10:00 departure for Leicester North. I verified that English Electric 1000 HP Bo-Bo diesel electric D8098 was at the back of the train.
