Sunrise Sunset UK Dvd: Part 7, A Day at Stenson Junction

Description

Sunrise Sunset UK Volume 7 – A Day at Stenson Junction

The seventh programme in the Sunrise Sunset UK series spends a day at Stenson Junction.

Sunrise Sunset UK spends a full day at a busy and popular location, recording a typical day of passenger and freight trains.

Filmed on a fine day in July 2017, DB Cargo, Freightliner, Colas Rail Freight, GBRf and DRS freight trains make up the bulk of the programme.

With more than thirty-five freight trains during a typical twenty-four hour period, many coming on and off the freight-only branch.

Plus regular Class 153, 170, 220 and 221 DMUs plus the odd HST, this is a popular railway location.

Stenson Junction is located on the Derby – Birmingham line, five miles south of Derby itself.

Here, the freight-only branch from the Toton/Nottingham direction, at Sheet Stores Junction, joins the mainline and a short distance later comes North Stafford Junction, where the line to Stoke and Crewe diverges.
