3rd APRIL 2023 - TRAIN ACTION AT DONCASTER RAIL STATION.

 Whist in town, I grabbed a quick 90 minutes at Doncaster Station to photograph whatever came my way. No 'Specials', just the routine timetable. Saw an old acquaintance from my work-years on the railway. We exchanged greeting only as he was boarding a London-bound train on work business.
