IN PICTURES: 56/3s move to Hitchin

We’ve had a load of excellent images sent in to us of Thursday’s transfer move with 56301 and 302 from Doncaster to Hitchin. They are now parked up in the former down side diesel depot awaiting sale by the administrators of Fastline Freight that went into liquidation earlier this year. Below are a selection of photos of the move, thanks to everyone who has sent them in so far.
