English: Hitchin Station, with Diesel-hauled Up stopping train.
View northward, towards Peterborough etc. on ex-GN ECML, also Cambridge and Bedford. By 1961, main-line Diesels of several classes had become established on the main line from King's Cross: this is No. D5900, the first (built 5/59) of the English-Electric ('Baby Deltic') Type 2 1,160 hp Bo-Bo (later Class 23). They proved rather unreliable and lasted only about 10 years. The train is probably on a Cambridge - King's Cross service.
