Here She Comes!
Due to 'bad information' being circulated by one group of Trainspotters, many people, including myself, got caught on the wrong platform at Finsbury Park. So after waiting 1.5 - 2 Hours for 60163 to come through, many of us failed to get a good shot as she approached.
To make matters worse, with a partition down the middle of the end of Platforms 1 & 2 at Finsbury Park, their was a mass panic and scramble of people trying to run down platform 1, get around the dividing wall and then get into Position on Platform 2 before she came past. I got a few shots but all were ruined by people in front of me. This is the best of them, heavily cropped at the bottom and on the right. Had I stayed on Platform 3, opposite, I would have got some very, very good pictures!!! So to say I was gutted was something of an understatement... Next time, I shall go with my own Instinct and my own Judgement!
