Arriving platform 1

A dull day, again. I actually wanted it to rain so that there would be some refections on the platforms.

Looks like I will have to return. I think it will look much better when it is darker and the platform lights are switched on.

This is Grindleford Station, Derbyshire. The train has just emerged from Totley tunnel. It was completed in 1893 and was the longest mainline railway tunnel within the United Kingdom that ran under land for its entire length, until the eastern London tunnel of High Speed 1, which now holds this title. It is therefore the longest non-electrified tunnel in England.

The tunnel is 6,230-yards (3.5 mi; 5.7 km) long.
