A Class 108 DMU passes Bersham Colliery en route to Shrewsbury while working the 10:15 service from Chester. DMBS 51904 was the lead vehicle. In the background, two rakes of loaded HAA hoppers await collection to form an MGR to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station later that morning.

Pannier 9681 passing the high level platform at Norchard on the Dean Forest Railway with a short train of ballast hoppers.

During the East Lancashire Railway's 'Summer Diesel Spectacular' event, Class 47 no. 47765, newly arrived on the Railway, works the 15.26 Rawtenstall to Heywood aervice past Horncliffe on the 8th July 2018.
Out in the middle lane, a 1968 Bristol FLF Lodekka in the fleet of Western SMT growls through Paisley, Wednesday 17th May 1978. Obviously one of the vehicles involved in the exchange of National Bus Company FLFs for Scottish Bus Group Bristol VRTs during the early 70s. The registration number says United Automobile Services, but I recorded the bus as being ex Northern General, no. 2826. Western SMT had taken the trouble to fit a destination aperture of the Scottish pattern. Usually this was done, but not always ...and vice versa in England. I took pleasure in these little anomalies and always liked to see a bus that had "slipped through the net", betraying its antecedents from a distance to the knowledgeable observer. I think I had stopped off in Paisley for a few quick snaps on my way to Ardrossan, headquarters of the interesting "A1" co-operative.
5407 on "Cumbrian Mountain Pullman" which I think reversed at Skipton and was taken to Carlisle by 46229.
61306 Mayflower & 44871 Made a great sight and sound as the pulled away from a water stop in the up loop a few hundred yard down the track from this green signal.
Target 57 was not always lengthy but was always varied. Here - on 22 September 1989 - a petrol tank, a couple of acetone chemical tanks and a brace of empty timber OCAs pass Siddick Junction with 26032 in charge.
Siddick Junction signalbox controlled the junction here for occasional trains to the Broughton Moor Royal Navy armaments depot. The 'box was closed in November 1988 replaced by groundframes which were released by Workington Main No.3 until 1992 when the branch closed. It can be seen that the small semaphore signal visible on the previous two pictures has gone (along with rest of them).
Westbound coal train approaching Hadfield, taken from the brake van of 8Z76 between Hadfield and Torside - 22nd June, 1981.
My diary says my locos were 76025 and 76027, brake van B953909, driver Freddy Walker. These locos were 76022 and 76023. Didn't always keep such details, glad I did on this day!
This train was 'regenerating' electricity that was probably powering our train up 'the bank', as we used to refer to Woodhead!
Thankfully the dark clouds passed by so thankfully no rain during this walk!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
Reading on a cold, dark afternoon, 9 December 2000, hosted 47829 (left) with 1O38, 09:10 Edinburgh-Bournemouth, passing 47851 with 1M50, 14:18 Brighton-Manchester, whose driver was chatting with one of the station’s shunters prior to getting the ‘right away’. 47829, which later received ‘Police’ livery, was scrapped in 2013 while 47851 survives (2025) as part of the WCRC fleet. The only scheduled loco-hauled passenger trains to be seen here now are GWR’s Class 57-hauled ‘Night Riviera’ sleeper services. The station itself has been extensively rebuilt and is barely recognisable from this image today.

F0 which pulled up many big tries in the neighborhood. I could see shingles and tree debris but unfortunately the camera did not pick it up. Yes it did sound like a mighty train.
A busy period for Direct Rail Services at the beginning of November 2022 - with RHTT operations adding to their routine work - brought more of their 100-mph bi-mode locos onto the more sedate Cumbrian coastline working nuclear flask trains.
Due to its status as a passing place on the single line between Sellafield and Whitehaven, St Bees frequently sees up and down trains pass each other, as here on 2 November when no fewer than four class 88s would stand in the station while tokens were exchanged. Here 88010 “Aurora” stands ahead of 88001 “Revolution” and four FNAS making up 6M23, the 1317 Hunterston Sellafield. The lights of 88002 “Prometheus” herald the approach of 6C46, the 1902 Sellafield – Carlisle Kingmoor, consisting of four more FNAs and second locomotive 88009 “Diana”.
Nice to see that 88010 has its name back! though, why it didn't get its proper plates is something of a mystery.
It's not cool and it's not a livery
Alternating weather - the remnants of a blast of sunlight offset against a passing hailstorm. Quite glad not to have been under that.

I'm still trying to define the range of my new gear, so I thought "what the heck, lets see what I get here". This was the result. Ironically, there was a burned out street lamp directly above me that would've been quite welcomed.
Via 98 sporting the usual Amtrak equipment passes West Harbour GO station in the light fog.
