RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Newcastle to Sunderland and the Durham Coast photo’s all of which are of interest. In J9759, at Hartlepool, with ‘Skipper’, 142025, on a Newcastle to Middlesbrough service, in February, 1989, you have an excellent and crystal clear photo’ of the unit in it’s distinctive chocolate and cream livery.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Newcastle to Carlisle photo’s. All are of interest, and in the last one, at How Mill, with 156448, on a Carlisle to Middlesbrough train, on the 1st June, 1994, you have captured a scene of a place which has not photographed very much. It was quite a scenic location, and the one time station has been closed since 1959 - the exact closure date is not available for some reason.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Essendine and Eaton Lane Crossing photo’s, which are all of interest. In the first photo’, at Essendine, with a class 254, HST, on an up express, in August, 1983, you can see the plume of exhaust as it trails back along the train as it accelerates up the line.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the latest Carlisle photo’s, and all are of interest. In C14520, that’s a great three quarters shot of 90015, on the down Royal Scot, from Euston to Glasgow, on the 30th May, 1990.

Clagsniffer Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 J10967 looks an interesting formation, what looks like four 1st class coaches? Was this normal? Yet another great set of pictures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 55020 Posted August 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Excellent photos as usual Dave. Thanks for keeping this thread running, as it's an automatic "go to" for me. The most striking thing about your latest set from Carlisle is that it isn't raining in all of them. In fact the sky is a strange colour in places, it looks like it might be blue Edited August 30, 2020 by 55020 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted August 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) J8802 looks like there is a pair of Strathclyde Class 318 EMUs in the platform behind. J10967 The very orange cantrail stripe was typical of Thornaby Class 47/3s so perhaps a DMU replacement on a Newcastle service? The IC service is more likely to be 3xTF plus Buffet rather than 4xTF.

I had forgotten about the 318s. I think they were "running in". The 47 was replacing a dmu. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted August 30, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2020 This morning's photos are once again from the preservation scheme of the British Steel lines beyond the High Dyke branch, before the project was abandoned. Market Overton was the furthest location still connected to the High Dyke branch at the time. It could only be accessed by runing over a short stretch of the BR owned line (the only bit of track remaining) from Saxby to Bourne. Sewstern had been the BSC workshops.

The track was only between the junctions for Buckminster and Market Overton. The rest was just old ballast - I walked most of it at various times.

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted August 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2020 Great to see some more photos of Newcastle from my student years, David. I keep checking each batch from Newcastle closely, in case I appear in any. Nothing yet, although I did spend as much time at Central as I did in lectures! But, I was studying transport, and the course tutors had told us that we should "get out and study our subject" so had the perfect excuse. Happy memories, and great to re-visit them on a Sunday afternoon; thank you. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Market Overton and Sewstern photo’s which are of both interest and historical value. In the first photo’, at Market Overton, the NER directors saloon and GER number 1, in July, 1972, were both looking superb, radiant even, in newly repainted condition. The Newcastle photo’s are as interesting as always, and in C11968, with large logo 47, 47577, on a Newcastle to Liverpool service on the 1st June, 1989, in C11968, you have captured a delightful and evocative scene, with the sun angled in such a way that the shadows are prominent and an important part of the composition.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the photo’s of the ECML just north of Newcastle. All are of interest, and in the first one at Heaton Depot, servicing and repair sheds, in January, 1990, you can see how all the doors have black and yellow chevrons except for the forth one from the left which, for some reason has the stripes horizontal. 1 hour ago, eastwestdivide said: Looks like they've flown the coop! The gangway door looks like it's been borrowed from a Victorian terraced house. And it’s knob has dropped off! Just a black mark is left behind.....
