Class 156 156443 is seen at Battersby at the rear of 2W35 1159 Whitby to Hexham service comprising four coaches as 159496 was attached at the front. A friend and myself had caught this train at Whiktby with just seconds to spare as our bus from Scarborough was delayed enolugh to threaten ouyr nine minute connection. Fortunately, we were able to run and scampered onboard with seconds to spare. As can be seen from this photograph the day itself was drab and overcast with relatively poor visibility all the way along the Esk valley. 11th March 2024.
