Last week’s post, Riding Through the Leicester Gap, presented some photos from my 1983 trip to England.
Here are a few remaining photos from that roll of film, taken at a different location.
Milton Keynes Central is located on the West Coast Main Line about 50 miles northwest of London and is a relatively new station, opened only in 1982, the year before my visit.
The photos below show some of the activity I observed during my brief visit.
An “up” express (London-bound) is led by 86 224 “Caledonian”.
Class 25 266 leads a down freight service.
Class 86 321 leads a down express.
The express was comprised of air-conditioned Mark 2 carriages, with a Mark 1 guards van bringing up the rear. Note the kerosene tail lamp!
An unidentified class 87 leads a down express.
