In theory the diesel hauled 12:45 from Leicester North should pass Kinchley Lane just before the 12:50 steam hauled service from Loughborough. I set up cameras facing in both directions, stand on the bridge and watch the Swithland up outer distant which does not normally clear until just after the steam service has left Quorn. On Saturday 23rd October 2021 the signal did not change until the train from Loughborough was out of Buddon Wood. All I could do was watch the Black Five pass by and then photograph D6535 when it passed about two minutes later. It wouldn't have been as bad had it not been 45305's last weekend and if the diesel was any other than the scruffiest example currently based at the GCR. It served me right for being too clever for my own good!
