Great Central Railway Mountsorrel Leicestershire 29th May 2024

Down the branch.

We are on Hunslet 0-6-0ST Austerity 18 as the shuttle is drawn back to Rothley from the terminus at Mountsorrel by Class 20 diesel D8001. Not a lot of work for me on this leg!

Beyond the bridge & buffer stops is Mountsorrel roadstone quarry.

HFF Pete. The fence on the bridge visually reinforces the stopblock and buffers.

Did GCR shorten the branch or was it acquired/inherited as is?

Hi Pete
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition
I've never been to this station, which I can see is a dead end. Curious about the smoke beyond the bridge...
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, a good weekend, and stay safe!!
