According to the photographer's notes, this Cravens DMU at Nottingham Arkwright Street is forming the last southbound service over the GC, which then terminated at Rugby, on 3 May 1969.
A few enthusiasts appear to be about, including one with a cine camera on the train itself. No wreaths or a headboard are in evidence, however. Were they added later, or on the northbound run, which I assume was the very last?
The station was demolished in 1975, with no trace now remaining.
Scanned from an Agfachrome slide taken by the late Michael Brown, now in my collection.
