        45001 stands at Birmingham New Street at the head of the 08.20
        from York on 4/2/84. A slight wisp of steam escapes from the
        boiler safety valve. This was a regular turn for a steam-heated
        Peak, and always attracted a considerable number of bashers.

        Incidentally, this was shot on Ilford XP1 film, and is one of
        the few pictures I have on XP1 that uses its whole latitude.
        Most of the others are going to need reprinting on very hard
        paper before they'll be worth looking at!
