Double sheds on the Great Western - the Bristol-ADJ steel empties pop out of one tunnel, whilst an engineers train moving slowly wrong line pops out of the other during track work at Newport - location is Newport Gaer Jcn

And Brizzle Parkway for this one, scrap heads to wales whilst an engineers train rolls down the loop...that goods loop is now a passenger platform!

Couple from the Southampton area - up and down 442's pass near Maritime, and if that 57 had been a 66 you might have qualified for a two-fer! biggrin.gif

And just up the road at Millbrook, the EWS shed on an Eastleigh-Westbury engineers train holds for a Freightliner that's just left Maritime.

Hmm - suspect it would have been easier to do a shot of a pair of one loco class passing on the North Wales coast then than now... wink.gif

Nooooo......

This would be hard to replicate already, and will soon be impossible again...Gatwick Express 460s cross at Clapham Jcn

And another modern historical shot, 313s cross at Hackney Wick on the North London Line

the picture was taken in 2009 and i seem to remember it was a warrington to allerton wagon move according to beast66606

 

Thanks. Latterly, the sidings at Allerton were full of container wagons - including several wheel-less KFAs loaded onto other KFAs.

 

Regards

Two Voyagers at Yate

When did the turnout for the Tytherington branch get re-laid.? I'd naturally assume that it's in preperation for the branch opening back up. I know the initial section seen here is sometimes used for reversal at Yate, but other than that, I'd have no idea.
