Driver Graham Christian eases the leading power car of the Great Central
Railway-based Class 127 'Bed-Pan', (51616/22) - that includes the
sole-surviving Swindon Class 120 car, trailer buffet 59276 - over
Swithland reservoir. This was during the first public trains over the
initial section of double track, running a shuttle from Quorn &
Woodhouse station to Swithland. Today, the double track is in everyday
use; sadly the Class 127 has been discarded and badly needs some TLC.
