No significant gradient
All fresh and piping hot from the camera, this one. Taken this morning. Brilliant sunshine from six o'clock, when I'd got up to take Mrs B to work, until about ten minutes after I'd left the house. I saw the edge of the cloud advancing towards me across the sky and this flat light settled over the landscape ...if you can call the fens landscape, that is. After fifteen minutes of waiting for this train to appear my fingers had begun to numb.
The train was given as 02:05 Arpley Sidings-Middleton Towers. Knew Arpley Sidings were Warrington because I am familiar with the railway-adjoining bus station of that name. Locals tell me that Middleton Towers, near King's Lynn, is a valuable source of sand for the glass-making industry. I consulted the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000: the area is pitted with excavations. Might be worth a nose-around one day.
An electrified single-track railway doesn't seem quite right, does it? Electrification implies profitability and heavy usership, a single line their opposite.
