RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted August 27, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2020 A final look at 61626, as it screeches round the tight curve after the bridge. and very shortly its place is taken by the second Up Cleethorpes. 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNER4479 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 My nomination for the WCML wayside station (as far as Crewe) is: Whitmore. The 'summit' of a modest hill between Stafford and Crewe (better hills lie further north!) but the scene of some exciting (one rather too exciting) LMS speed records in the 1930s 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted August 28, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yet another murky morning, and more heavy rain for hours forecast later on, so I may have to start rationing images again, if it is too dark to do anything at all. For now though, we can watch 61098 standing at the South end of Platform 2. Well, it appears we can't as nothing will upload, so we will go on to the poll instead. Now I thought the former visitors to the field at Tamworth might prevail here, but in fact Wolverton got 4 votes, and Tamworth only 2. Plenty of other suggestions, but none got more than one. Today we shall look at an area which I now realise has been sadly neglected so far, namely the routes between Leeds and Manchester. So any station on the main lines between those two cities, including junctions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted August 29, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2020 Morning all. A bit slow round here, but I'll try to put up a picture and see what happens. Well, it did work, and not too long doing it, though the Cleethorpes is now running 24 hours late. I'll post this and see if it gets through OK. The poll is also postponed by 24 hours, so carry on with yesterday's please. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhole Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Eccles in the 60's. Fourtrack mainline out of Manchester, plus the freight traffic into the Ship Canal. 8F reversing a long train back over a junction and down to the sidings. The raft of expresses, both passenger and fitted freight on a summer evening. LMS three cylinder 4-6-0's at full chat at the head of a dancing fitted freight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
