    On the day I acquired my first SLR camera (Zenit B for anyone interested) first stop was Dinting to expose a roll of colour film, how extravagant for a mere schoolboy.

    I must have made a dozen visits over several years, 30925 was present for a while before restoration. And naturally some of those visits were as a result of the main line operations.
    The two arrivals attached date I think from 1977/8. The centre seemed very much to lose it's significance as a main line base with the run down of the Woodhead line.
