The same formation as seen at Whitecroft, but with the class 55 leading, and 50021 "Rodney" tailing.
This was an experimental shot from the east side of the line. I'd discarded using St Mary's Halt as a location for the morning as (a) there was too much lineside vegetation and (b) the footbridge there had met with a mishap the previous month and was out of commission.
