How blue was my valley - 57316
It was quite a surprise to see 'plain Jane' Arriva blue 57316 helming the 'Snowdonia Statesman' charter, I'd assumed that this had surrendered the blue for the infamously drab maroon some time ago. It turns out the rear loco, 57313, hadn't either. The 06:00 Cambridge - Blaenau Ffestiniog clatters through Glan Conwy running some 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
I took this photo at 11:35 and I'd rolled out of bed at only 11:00. With no time for any means of breakfast, I sprinted for the X19 bus and caught it with about five seconds to spare.
