The weather forecast pointed towards a good opportunity to have the Polar Express run by Vintage Trains for the first time this year. The ever developing city centre skyline in Birmingham is evident here and may not be on the same scale as London for example. For comparison's sake please take a look at the link below showing an image I took of the same train six years earlier.
When I set off for this there was no danger of cloud interfering when this was due. A large bank of cloud came over some ten minutes prior but passed over before this came into view.
Also note how vegetation has been cleared for the spur into Caledonia Yard since the uploaded image on the link below.
