I enjoy following this thread precisely because the DMUs are in the landscape so please keep the landscape shots coming.

 

How about this one? A bit grainy I'm afraid....

Taken from Dracula's place on the hill of I think 156484, because it was one of the early pictorial livery Northern units.

A very clean class 166 hurries along the down relief line towards Twyford on a Paddington to Oxford train in the mid 90s. In the background, signal R179 is off for a Paddington-bound HST to cross from the up relief to the up main line at Ruscombe.

While on my all-line rover ticket last September. I had my digs for the night booked in Edale. So while walking along the footpath I could hear this East Midlands Railway service snaking through the valley floor, bound for Nottingham/ Norwich.

Just at the back of the white rose centre in Leeds looking towards Morley

Is that what new trains look like now?  I would have thought the photo was taken somewhere in mainland Europe.

Joking aside, it's a nicely styled nose, but the livery is hideous.

Just browsing through this thread and by coincidence had taken the exact same view during a walk on Tuesday this week. Amazing how much more vegetation there is now!

A pair of GWR Class 158s with 12.18 Taunton to Cardiff Central.

On yet another very dull and wet day in West Yorkshire, Network Rail 950001 was working 2Q08 touring a number of lines.

A few from the Glasgow & South Western

 

First Class Sir, I would be very pleased with any of those.  Being able to see through Mossgiel tunnel is just perfect.

A pair of Voyagers heading to York (possibly diverted?) past Midland road depot in Leeds

Richard

 

On the assumption that your photo was taken on a Saturday during the current timetable, then no it wasn't on divert.

 

With the sunsetting in the west over Leeds, it's most likely 1E63, 15.26 Plymouth to York (21.46) which is booked to reverse during its call at Leeds between 21.02 and 21.09 and is then routed to York via Leeds West Junction, Methley Junction and Milford Junction, picking up the usual route to York at Church Fenton.

 

As it's the only 'class 1' Cross Country working to York booked this way from Leeds I assume it's for crew route knowledge retention purposes in case of a potential divert.

 

As you may know, there are also daily very early morning/late evening ECS Cross Country workings between Leeds and York to and from Crofton depot that pass Midland Road depot.

A few "in the landscape" scans from prints.  No dates unfortunately, my pre digital photographic record keeping was woefully inadequate!

 

101 at Chappel viaduct, 142's Cumbrian coast (Arnside?), 150 150 at Hest Bank and  150 227 at Whitlingham Junction.

Here is a DMU in the jungle

that sprung up around Didcot. There is some steelwork on the avoider that is rapidly being consumed by nature though. When they finally come to electrify to Oxford, it will probably have disappeared...

Last time I went to didcot that view was a lot less cluttered.
