East Midlands Railways diesel train no 170530 is rounding the curve at the site of Firsby East Junction on its journey from Skegness to Nottingham. The service it is providing is the 15.12 train from Skegness to Nottingham train. The train had left Skegness, travelled through Wainfleet and is passing the site of Firsby East Junction where a branch used to run off to the left to form a branch line up to Louth and Grimsby. This branch closed in 1970. It’s hard to imagine another railway running away through the fields now. The train is running under the head code of 2030.
