🙏 The greatest…

A beautiful morning in York (yesterday), and 37607 was found residing in the sidings at Holgate after arriving with 1Q64 the previous evening. Everything slowly starting to feel a bit warmer, finally!

Gone but never forgotten… 🙏

Colas Railfreight 70816 passes through platform 16 at Leeds with 6D80, Neville Hill to Lindsey Oil Refinery empties. The more I see these 70s in action, the more they’re growing me, really starting to like them.

91105 Begins to ramp up the power to those mighty SEPEX motors and propels the train out of platform 8 in Leeds. The only way to travel. #Class91 #Electra #LNER #LeedsCityStation #Trainspotting 225 Group

The InterCity Land Cruises of old were amazing to capture. Those InterCity liveried Mk1s accompanied by Mk3 Sleeper coaches with their distinctive white roofs. Oh to have had the means to have travelled on it! Caught here at Dalmally on the Oban line. #Class37 #Dalmally

West Coast Railways 47826, and 57314 ‘Conwy Castle’ pass through platform 15 at Leeds with 0Z57, Newark Northgate to Neville Hill. (23/04/24)

Captured several times this week, EWS 66075 working through platform 5 at York with 6E97, the New Biggin to Tees Dock Gypsum. Great to still be able to catch these original liveried EWS 66s.

Parked away down the back and out of the way at Crewe! The final iteration of InterCity for the class 90, mainline. Void of InterCity branding, and fitted with a cast BR double arrow. Happy days at Crewe!

LNER 801228 ‘Century’ departs Leeds City Station with a service bound for London Kings Cross. I’m not a fan of these soulless trains, but I do applaud the special vinyls applied to several of them.

A little bit of evening shunting going on in York, with 08782 prepping the vans for the overnight mail. This was about 30 years ago, and how times have changed, and not particularly for the better!

A much love doll, Olive, has just been lost on a train either at Doncaster or on the London North Eastern Railway train from Doncaster to London. I have a devastated little girl and I’ve seen these sorts of posts work before.

Morning everyone. A quick shout out to anyone taking part in the London Marathon today, hope it goes well for you all! (My best 26.2 was a 4:08! 😰)
Black 5, 44871 passes through platform 11 at York with its support coach on 19/03/24. #Black5 #York #BritishRailways #LondonMarathon

The class 180 Adelante has been the mainstay of the Grand Central fleet for some time. They really do need a bit of TLC. Captured here calling at Northallerton with a service from Sunderland to London Kings Cross.

In the days before the class 66, the West Highland freight was in the hands of the mighty class 37. This daily train from Fort William to Mossend was always a highlight. 37430 ‘Cwmbrân’ leads its classmate into Tulloch. #Class37 #Tractor #WestHighlandLine #BritishRail #Transrail

Hull Trains 802302 ‘Jean Bishop (The Bee Lady)’ crosses the Selby swing bridge with a service heading to Kings Cross. This is a great vantage point which won’t be around forever once the accessible bridge opens.

6M31 Hunslet to Arcow Quarry rolls through Leeds with 66783 ‘The Flying Dustman’ up front. Great livery and name on this GBRf 66, loving the variety of liveries on these locos.
