29th May 2009

Day 2 of the trip took us to Doncaster, we found a car park behind the power signal box and an unbelivable price of 2.00 per day!! now there is a barrier at Doncaster station so you ask at the info desk that you want to take pictures/spotting, they will tell you to go to the barrier and ask to gain permission from the station manager on platform 3b, but the chaps on the barrier just asked us for proof of our aim i:e camera/books etc and let us straight through with no problems (thank you NATEX and the kind staff at Doncaster station who were very friendly towards us)

it was a very busy and sweltering day (26 degrees) freight was busy and two rail tours really made the day, but the highlight was 66841 (66406) which came from the south and stabled in the works sidings, a fantastic day i recommend Doncaster station still to anybody!!
