Great Central Railway Quorn Leicestershire 26th December 2023

What could be more welcoming than a warm coal fire on a cold December day? We had a mug of tea in the NAAFI under the road bridge at the GCR's Quorn & Woodhouse station and sat close to this crackling fire.

Meanwhile from time to time a steam engine would arrive with its train at the platform outside.

A wonderful capture of what is indeed a most welcoming sight, the hard part would have been moving away from it

I wonder how many people stood with their back to the fire, warming the nether regions? That would have been me most certainly.

It was very cosy by the fire standing or sitting.
