Hopefully that will prove sufficient!  (Tbh, although it perhaps upset the homogenous image, I wasn't personally unhappy with the Swallow replacement!) I loved the look of 43049 on the train. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out near Ecclesfield to photograph the Network Rail HST measurement train yesterday, also due to go via Barnsley. But watching its progress on Traksy, it came to a halt for 10-15 mins just before Meadowhall, then disappeared off via Swinton. I'd guess a route knowledge problem and time to rearrange a route with the signallers. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're driving up from Hemingfield, towards Jump, just after crossing over the railway bridge there's a Public Footpath sign pointing Left. Park on the main road, and walk down the path to another railway bridge. The pic is taken there, looking towards Elsecar. Â View looking towards Wombwell, from same bridge- Â Same Footpath, before getting to bridge, Elsecar station is just beyond the 'S' bend- Â The Footpath carries on through a field, giving decent views- Â Â Â Cheers, Phil.

Afroal05 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Some photos from the Blue Pullman tour from Crewe to Aviemore on 23rd July. 43049 during the leg stretch at Perth: Â Â 43046 trailing: Â Â The set sat for the duration of the time in Aviemore and all of the Scotrail services were replatformed around it. Â Â Â Despite having paid quite a lot for the trip on the Pullman, the friend I went with was desperate to get a service train back as far as Pitlochry. Apparently he 'needed' the miles from one of the powercars! Â Â Journeys end, back in Crewe: Â Â Rigged to the front of 43046 was a GoPro and charging pack. There was filming throughout the tour, including a crew onboard, as there is a documentary coming out next year. I think the documentary looks at the wider LSL operation, not just the Blue Pullman. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the raised angle for this photo but would have preferred it if there wasn't that pillar in the way! Â Â 43290 looking very tatty (09/09/22) at Crewe on a test train underneath broody skies.
