D1797 1965-03-18 Santon

Santon, between Scunthorpe & Barnetby
D1797 is passing Appleby distant signal. (MP26).

2Z65 is a strange working, see also D1771, to have same stock on two consecutive Thursdays, both with Tinsley locos.
There was a lot of driver training around that time, both locos under 5 month old.
The use of a brake van is unusual, perhaps when the loco runs round at its destination,( Grimsby?), a long propelling movement is then made. MGR trains did this in the Blyth area in later years.
