The train was 45 minutes late due to engineering works between Chesterfield and Derby, and is on the freight line due to the red flag (centre). The train passed the rear of the station then reversed into Platform 1! New as No. D95 at 17A Derby on 15th April 1961, the 'Peak' was withdrawn on 21st January 1985 after a traction motor flashover.
