Photographic notes
Knebworth station faces roughly north south and as such better suits southbound workings during the middle of the day. The text below the pictures describes the shots.
About a mile to the south is Woolmer Green Junction where the East Coast Main Line Bottlenecks from four to two tracks. As a result charters are usually pathed onto the slow lines and will not be travelling at great speed, unlike workings on the fast road that could be travelling at up to 110mph.
