At 0809 hrs on Friday 10 November 2023 the morning commute is in full swing in central Leeds. First light catches a pair of TPE Class 185 sets (185102/185138) crossing the A643 road, heading for Leeds station (right). This train was 1P63, the Manchester Airport (0644 hrs) to Saltburn service.
For an alternative angle on railway photography, why not take a look at the Phoenix website:

I was running my usual commute to university through Dudhope Park as the sun glowed low on the horizon, bathing the city in golden light! I whipped out my phone and snapped this pic... If only I could have been off to Norman's Law on the bike... Instead, I had to hurry on. 2 hrs of work in an IT basement awaited...
A rollerblader slowly makes his way up the sidewalk as a Metra Electric train crosses Burr Oak Ave in the background.
Bored by these photos? I don't blame you. There's always the blog.
This set follows my regular commute home from work, from Manchester to Morecambe. I've made this journey 3 or 4 times a week for a little over 11 years, something like 2.000 times. And that is a very scary thought.
The first major intersection I come to is at Besses o' th' Barn, which I like for it's vernacular spelling, it's empty promise of a barn (with or without the Besses), it's famous brass band and the Crumpsall sign you can see. I'm told it's the only road sign to Crumpsall in Manchester, which makes it extra special as I was born there, in Manchester's secret jewel. That makes me a Mancunian, for better or worse.
But today I'm heading for Prestwich and the M60 ring road. It's a long way home so I'll play some music for the trip which, like the photos, will come courtesy of my smartphone (well, via youtube for you). The first song is from a local band. Mark E. Smith, of The Fall, lives in Prestwich. He claims to be a Mancunian but wiki says he was born in Broughton, in the city of Salford. It's only spiiting distance from Crumpsall, in the city of Manchester, but there's a world of difference. Honestly!

I feel like this most days coming into the city.
Especially when the day is sunny and the weather is hot.
