A duet of two Classic traction moves pass through Brightside Station - 1775
The driver has finally got the green on Sheffield's S199 ahead for authority to proceed through the 'Hell that is Meadow' and powers up producing a nice cloud of 'clag' in the Autumn weather with a lot of cheers going on as it gets underway. The 20s are sallying forth through the station as well, no passengers to pick up since this station closed when the new Meadowhall Interchange was built in the 1990s, but the remnants of what the place looked like can still be seen here, the whole lot enhanced by the 2 lots of classic traction on offer. The leading BR green 37 still has its old reporting number showing in the front display boxes, '1E09' and at rear, another gem, a Colas liveried class 37, 37219. Some information relating to 37057, 'Viking'-

The RHTT Sandite units are starting to look 'mucky' and we are only into the 2nd week, this being the 4th run of the season... Autumn colours are resplendent and there was a 4-planet alignment in the eastern skies early on Monday morning... Venus, MArs, Jupiter, the Moon waning, and just above the 'rim of the world', close to the sun of course which was still below out high horizon, Mercury glowered like a jewel...
