There are four trains in this view looking North after Ilford Road station (IIRC) - the one we are riding in, one stopped at South Gosforth station ahead, one coming the other way; and one parked in the loop siding on the South line. All very entertaining. Just a shame we couldn't sit in the front seat, due to continuing COVID restrictions in July 2021.
