When I enjoyed trains' returns, with a little snow - Take 188! 45049 Broxbourne 091281 (8J43)

45049 "The Staffordshire Regiment" (British Railways, allocated to Toton Depot).

8J43 : 0844 Whitemoor to Temple Mills mixed freight.

Broxbourne - c1100 - 09/12/81.

 

 

When I had symptoms of the virus last week, I decided not to upload any more "Golden Oldies", due to the large number of people, totally ignoring the "lockdown" & continuing to photograph trains, using all manner of lame excuses, to justify their journeys.

Here's one that "caught my eye" from yesterday:-

"The weekend shopping has lasted just four days and by this afternoon we'd run out of fruit and croissants so the mid week shop was again required. The Tesco near the Wicker in Sheffield was chosen as it is also within a mile of Woodburn Junction and the evening passage of the 1Q50 1340 Derby RTC to Doncaster West Yard top and tailed by 37423 and 37424".

However, this would penalise my friends, who like me have not taken any photographs during the "lockdown" (First time I haven't photographed a train in April since 1975!!!) or have combined it, with a single period of exercise (not leaving the house two, three or four times a day, for two, three or four hours)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"No wonder the UK is the worst in Europe for coronavirus – our ‘keep calm and carry on’ attitude let it happen", if people can't keep to the guideline of 1 hr for daily exercise, with the Belstead Banker doing 2 hours or more in the last three days.
