The first day of my 16 days off work saw a blue sky forecast over the majority of Cumbria and with the knowledge of a couple of phottable workings on the hallowed metals of the County I intended to make hay while the, er, sun shone, so to speak.
Unfortunately my first chapter, a trip to Shap Wells to shoot the Cumbrian Mountain Express, was a write-off as the smoke from LNER A4 No.60009 drifted down along the side of the loco, obscuring the majority of the train.
FAIL.
I then headed to Docker to shoot 6J37. Down as a defo' runner behind Grid 94 I wasn't going to miss this one.
As I approached the location cloud was starting to build and I suspected a 2nd fail.
With an assembled gallery of nigh on 20, including the customary "chasers", blocking the lane dullness wouldn't have been the done thing,
Fortunately the Good Lord saw the light and created a break so that we did also!
A pair of Class 90s with 048 in Freightliner grey livery and 046 in Freightliner - green/yellow - original livery.
An amazing day with two northbound steam trips over Shap within minutes.The second had 70000 Britannia,at this stage only 5 minutes behind the first so no chance to move very far.

This monument stands alongside London's Excel centre at the quayside of Victoria Dock, and is such a fitting tribute to the thousands of stevedores that worked these docks and kept London's exports and imports flowing.
