Almost exactly the same experience is available at Bishops Lydeard (WSR). I can vouch for this as I tried much the same, about a month back. Can't share the evidence, as the autofocus on the camera was so confused, it refused to waste the (digital) "film". TONY 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to feel the steam. Me too! I had to cross the long footbridge spanning Luton Bute Street and Luton Midland Road Stations. While the Midland had gone over to DMUs and Diesel haulage for the Moorgate trains, over on Bute Street there was a Leighton Buzzard to Luton , and return morning 2 coach auto train. The Ivatt 2-6-2 that pushed/pulled this stood with its chimney directly under the footbridge awaiting the off back to LB. Those were the days!! 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my walks from school over the North Tyne Loop I only saw DMUs. They were green mind you, and sometimes I was lucky with a Clayton on the trip freight. Always late on the way to school so couldn’t stop. Paul. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some drivers would have done that deliberately. At Ladybank in Fife (as in many other places, of course), the footbridge is of open lattice construction. More than one driver would stop in just the right (wrong?) position to be able to look up through the lattice work and observe the passengers as they crossed...

And we all know which passengers they were looking at Very much like carefully sited benches in station booking halls where if there was room to provide a bench for passengers etc to sit down it was always directly opposite the booking office window. 1 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
