Big. Bulky. Gnarly. Adequate words to describe the British Class 70 locomotive.
The General Electric product was specifically built for Freightliner UK in 2007. Twenty Class 70 locomotives were manufactured for Freightliner. The 3,690 horsepower locomotive can be seen on heavy freight trains around the UK.
Here, number 70018 guides a container train onto the North London line at Stratford station. It's a beast!

A trio of Class 68 diesel locos at York station on 7th September 2019.
No. 68032 "Destroyer" & No. 68028 "Lord President" are stabled in the station, while in the background No. 68027 "Splendid" departs with a Scarborough to Liverpool service.
A more wide angle than my previous upload shows that Wateringbury station, on the Medway Valley line between Paddock Wood and Strood, is attractively located next to the River Medway.
As well as the staggered platforms, the elaborate station building is not unique to the line as a similar structure exists at Aylesford on the northern stretch of line between Maidstone West and Strood.
A three coach class 375 'Electrostar' unit approaches with a Saturday morning service from Strood to Paddock Wood. On weekdays and Saturdays the line now boasts a half-hourly service, the Sunday service remains hourly.

My usual 'ride' in my early days as Traincrew, seen here at Alderley Edge waiting for myself to take it to Manchester Oxford Road in my days as a Guard. Circa 1992.
Strobist info: One 1000W continuous light behind the model hitting the white wall creating the hair light effect with enough power for two white reflector boards on the sides of the model to light her face.

40145 heads 1Z44, Rail Charter Services’ 1438 Appleby – Skipton (with 47712 on the rear) through Blea Moor on 12 September 2020, the final day of the “Staycation Express” operations.
The area is popular with railway enthusiasts but even more so with walkers enjoying the “Three Peaks” area of the Yorkshire Dales. Some of the walkers could be following the footpath above Blea Moor tunnel or other routes over to Dentdale but most will probably be heading up to Whernside.
The group of walkers in the middle distance - lifted from a shot taken about ten minutes earlier - have been digitally added to the image. This was mainly to enhance the composition rather than to mislead the viewer, but in any case it remains a fair representation of the constant stream of walkers on the route on that day.

Sorry but there is very little information on this photo so any help with a possible date greatly received.
This Pic is part of a collection from the 1960's & 1970's. They are all prints of various sizes with some colour and some black & white with almost half having written details on the rear.
The photographs were purchased as a set some time ago and after spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it is time to show them and not let the collection just hide away.

Class 141 DMUs 55513/33 and 55508/28 in the bay platforms at Huddersfield, on trains to Leeds and Wakefield Westgate (if the headcode blinds are correct).
Class 73 E6048 waits to leave Rugby Portland cement sidings at Halling on a train of empty 16t mineral wagons .November 1973.
This was photographed from the York Way platform (used by trains to Moorgate) that closed that year. A class 31 is just arriving at the head of a suburban train. Another 31 can be seen on a main line train, perhaps to Cambridge. The use of loco-hauled Mark I suburban rolling stock ceased with the opening of the electrification in October that year.

Class 25 D5185 'Castell Dinas Brann' prepares to depart Loughborough Central during the Railways at Work Gala on the Great Central Railway.
Here I am at Wolverhapton and according to realtime trains, this convoy of 97's was due to pass on platform one (right side of this image), instead being routed through 2 (the one I was standing on), so this is the best I could manage at the time.
Anyways, the convoy consists of 97302, 97303 and 97304 and the date is the 09/07/21.
Some small patches of red in the sky this morning, and if the old rhyme is to be believed it's a warning for shepherds (or sailors). I didn't see either in London during the day, but there was certainly a fair bit of rain during the day. Tomorrow Storm Éowyn is set to hit the British Isles with yellow, amber and even red weather warnings issued by the Met Office.
Away from all things metrological, the 07.18 London Overground 'Mildmay line' service from Stratford to Richmond arrives at Camden Road station, formed of a five coach class 710/3 unit.
