No takers for a trip to the seaside at Morecambe today. The station is splendid, and has not been surrounded by clutter.
A Class 110 DMU after arrival at York at night. I don't know the date of this as it has not been recorded but late 1980s. I do know Nikon FM2, 50mm f1.8 AI-S lens and Kodak T-Max 100 film.
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.
A two car class 116 unit (51145 51132) is on it's way empty to the depot, the driver trying to hurry things along by getting on to the signalbox via the signal telephone, something we don't see these days. Cardiff 7 September 1992.
One of the initial batch of seven units with slightly shorter carriages, 1004 is seen rounding the curve into West St. Leonards station, while I was testing out my newly acquired 135mm lens for the first time. This unit had recently been reformed as a 6S unit again, having been split in 1964 to provide carriages for two of the class 206 three carriage 'tadpole' units for the Tonbridge-Reading line.
Class 56 locos under construction in Crewe works, 2nd July 1983. There is a number just visible on the cabside that suggests it may be 56126 or 56128.
Can you hear them ?
37405+37518 climb away from Great Rocks Jn. on 11th April 1994 with 7F50, 16.24 Tunstead to Oakleigh, carrying another load of Derbyshire stone in the classic ICI vacuum braked hoppers.
GWR 4MT 2-6-2T Class 45xx No 4566 heads a local passenger train for Kidderminster south from Bridgnorth through Hampton Loade Station (Severn Valley Railway) on 25th March 2014 - A RUSS Charter
British Rail Class 170 'Doodlebug' 3 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 170208 working the 1P57 17:30 (19:05 18L at CHM) Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service train southbound at Generals Lane overbridge on the Great Eastern Main Line near Boreham in Essex (UK).
Who knows why a 3 car diesel multiple unit was operating this service. This should be a Class 90 locomotive hauled 8 carriage train.
Might be linked to this train's 18 minute delay while the whole GEML was subject to heat related cancellations and speed restrictions during this day.
Note 'The Brecks' vinyl wrap livery and the train is approaching a double yellow (preliminary caution) signal aspect.
The double yellow warns the driver that the following signal may be at single yellow (caution) and the signal after that may be at red (stop, danger).
These two class 40s were stored at Crewe. The shot was grabbed whilst window hanging, as you do. I sent this original slide into Traction mag and it was printed in Issue 65 the problem is I have never had my slide back so this is a scan from the mag, well I must not complain, at least I got a tenner.
A pair of D.R.S. Class 57 locos stabled at Norwich on the 23rd November 2015.57010 started life as D1907 in September 1965,also having a short spell as 47231. The rear loco,57306,began life as D1919 in November 1965.It also ran as 47242,47659 and 47814.
Castle Class HST set 43156+43098 with regional service 2P09 Penzance to Plymouth arriving to St. Erth station
British Rail Class 69 Co-Co diesel locomotive 69003 as operated by GBRf (GB Railfreight) working a rake of empty JNA box wagons from Mountfield (East Sussex) to Southampton Western Docks at Eastleigh Station in the County of Hampshire (UK).
I think this is a daily GBRf service for the collection of gypsum from the Port of Southampton back to Mountfield.
69003 was originally built by Electroputere S.A. of Craiova, Romania and entered service for British Rail as Class 56, 56018 on August 23rd 1977.
56018 was rebuilt including a new low emission engine and other major improvements by Progress Rail for GBRf then reclassified as Class 69, 69003 in 2021.
Note the 'speed whiskers' which are a tribute to some pre yellow panel British Railways diesel multiple units from the 1950's/1960's.
