Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

The Peak Forester at Harringay, Sun 4 June about 1025

A return visit by Duchess of Sutherland on its way to Derby (train continues to Matlock and Rowsley for the Peak Rail heritage line). Return very late, a minute to midnight.

Train starts from Ealing Broadway not King's Cross, reaching Finsbury Park about 1020 (platform 8 I think) and Harringay platform 2 (not the fast line) about 1025 via the North London Line and the King's Cross Incline since the Barking-Gospel Oak line is closed that day.

I know, but they are blighters for frequently not updating the body copy when they post the final timings at the bottom of the page only a few days beforehand - those were the initial estimated/hoped for timings.....

Now restored to full streamlined outline and in pride of place at the NRM, but unlikely to be in steam as you saw it.

And in a nice bit of linking, it was the engine used in a pivotal scene in the 1983 film 'The Dresser' (Albert Finney as Sir, an actor-manager, Tom Courtenay as his harassed dresser), which was shot at York.  Try this link.

Thanks Gordon. I went to Haringey station to see the DoS. Splendid.

Quite a leafy shot, for Harringay - thanks.

I realised the time too late, so I put up the window instead and heard it start from Finsbury Park, and the whistle at Harringay.
