BR Standard 5 73096 bursts out from under the bridge at Palmers Green North London with
the Cathedrals Express to Lincoln for the Christmas Fair. So grey is the weather
and the immediate suroundings the picture could almost be in black and white. I can recall 
seeing steamers here in the 1950's when I waited on this very platform with my Father 
to catch a Saturday morning train to the city...who would have believed then that they could 
still be seen today the 4th December 2004.
