Saturday 11 June 1960, the 20:12 Tutbury Jinnie stands in the North Bay at Burton on Trent ready for the off on what will be its last outward bound journey to Tutbury.

On the footplate was Engine Driver - Leslie Wildgust, from 38 Oak Street, Burton on Trent and Fireman - Eric Gorton from Cornmill Lane Tutbury.

The train is seen here with three coaches instead of the usual two.

Following the closure of the line between Burton and Tutbury, the bays at Burton on Trent were filled in.
