The early morning sun catches Network Rail's Class 97/3 No. 97304 'John Tiley' leading a three-coach test train with classmate No. 97302 at the rear as it heads towards Derby shortly after passing Stenson Junction, Derbyshire on Thursday 29th August 2013 with test train 3Z83, 05:03 Manchester Piccadilly to Derby RTC. When photographed, the train was running approximately 150 minutes ahead of time due to not taking up its scheduled two hour layover at Stafford on the journey via Crewe, Stafford, Lichfield and Burton-on-Trent.
