A three-car Craven DMU is seen drawing into Shustoke station on the 15:45pm Birmingham to Peterborough via Leicester service on Sunday 26th June 1966

A three-car Craven DMU is seen drawing into Shustoke station on the 15:45pm Birmingham to Peterborough via Leicester service on Sunday 26th June 1966. The station clock shows 4:05pm indicating the service is very much quicker than in steam hauled days. In the goods yard on the right (above the Gentlemens sign) is a coal merchants lorry. Whilst despite the goods yard closing on the 24th July 1961, the loop sidings are still in-situ with weeds growing between the sleepers.
