Peeking tinbox - 153353
Family day out for the 12 year old me at Betws-y-Coed. A visit to skim stones across the Afon Llugwy was timed nicely for the passing of the 13:22 Llandudno - Blaenau Ffestiniog across the bridge. Waiting in position to hear the rumble of the approaching train, the surprise of seeing an Arriva liveried Class 153 caused me to fire off the shutter too early. This day was the debut of a class 153 in the ATW colours and I had no idea! 153353 was paired with an out-of-shot 'Orange' 153 on this day.
