Southbound services passing Spittlegate cutting, just south of Grantham were always working hard as can be seen in this splendid shot of the Scarborough Flyer taken on 16th September 1960. In charge is Kings Cross V2 No 60800 Green Arrow in customary immaculate condition. This V2 spent its entire existence at Kings Cross (apart from a few weeks in mid-1953) but was withdrawn relatively early, for preservation, in August 1962.
