Tugly Tom
No Tugly for two months, then four in an afternoon...
A trip to the west coast (California, not Hest Bank!), two railtours and an imminent house move have kept me away from that familiar Mirrlees grunt for eight weeks, so it was time to make amends. And this is just the way to do it!
Despite leaving Toton a good two hours late, 6F96 Ratcliffe-Arpley empty HTA's was only a few minutes adrift by the time it reached the northern end of Cheshire, and could actually have been ahead of schedule if it hadn't got lost somewhere between Alsager and Barthomley on the North Staffs.
Putting on a good show with the train is 60007, seen pounding along the down fast at Acton Bridge in the warm sunshine of 17 May 2014.
Aaaah... That's better...
