For a while the XL scratch post in our living room looked ridiculously large and wasn't the favourite nail sharpener of our three ladies. Billy, however, has quickly learned that it's a very good tree replacement. It's amazing to see how fast his motor skills are improving.

leaving Chiswick Works on training duties. This was probably type training as the RT family undertook the basics.

47810 (D1924) ‘Crewe on a 1Z80 route leaner for LSL from to Crewe to Carnforth via Blackburn and Hellifield and back to Blackburn where it would become 1Z81 to York Parcels sidings.
I understand this is road learning in preparation for ‘Fellsman’ steam tours this summer which are to be operated by Locomotive Services rather than West Coast Railways.
Rebecca spent some time at our house today...trying to study for her finals. I'm not sure how effective it was...between all the running and squeeling of 5 year olds. It was good just to be together.
I daresay a few of my Flickr friends would have enjoyed learning to drive in this rather smart Leyland Marathon 2 especially with the elevated view of the road that would've been given!

Went to Borough Market in London. A maelstrom of good food and good people. Didn't know where to start or finish.
She's now official....let the gray hair keep on coming!

The barge comes very smoothly under the new footbridge where, a few weeks ago, a boy was tragically killed, 'Tombstoning' off the bridge. The Oil Barge, 'Exol Pride', seems apparently to glide along noiselessly and without a whiff of pollution though I guess its engines produce some diesel fumes; having said that it IS carrying 4-500 tonnes of oil, what's that, the equivalent of 20-25 oil lorries off the main roads from the Humber to here; a no-brainer really and more of it please. A flock of very slowly moving swans and a 'bridge-hole' underneath Rotherham Road lies just ahead and the barge will soon pass the old building of Waddingtons whose canal side premises were here after moving back from Don St in Rotherham in the 1980s; the premises are now used as a steel stockyard but without any canal usage as far as I can see. On the right, DRS class 66, 66301 passes TkMaX and the new McDonalds eatery, recently built on Rotherham Road at just about the site of the short stretch of the Earl Fitzwilliam Canal which used to have coal staithes situated at the top end, about half a mile away, to transfer coal from the New Stubbin Colliery about 2 miles further north near Greasbrough. The Colliery initially had an incline and subsequently a tramway to take coal to the staithes for onward shipment along the canal, there was another swing bridge, this time across the railway line, the allow barges to connect to the Rotherham Cut. Eventually when the Midland line arrived in the 1840's and the GC's line towards the end of that century, a railway line was built up the side of the canal formation connecting to both the Midland and GC main lines and subsequently, the canal fell into disuse; it is now a quiet, elongated fishing pond. The area is changing a bit again, with the exit of the large BnQ DIY store from the large site in the background, next to the Midland line, their old premises can just be seen above and to the left of Mcdonalds, its hard to see what will take its place; though that could be said of much of the large tracts of land left when large business evacuate previous large, traditional, industrial spaces.. 66301 is heading towards Rotherham and then a reversal at Sheffield Midland before heading of east to Worksop and Lincolnshire and terminating at Barnetby. This is the DRS, 0Z01, route learner from the Parcels Sidings at York Station and this may well be in aid of the Autumn leaf fall RHTT workings, which are operated by DRS using class 20 locomotives and originate in York.
