eastwestdivide Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Probably a few years away from ending up there, 195012 passes Booths scrapyard in Rotherham. Unusually posh train for the Leeds/Sheffield stoppers, but this was down to disruption earlier causing mixed up diagrams. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted March 22 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22 I can't come out to play today as it's a steam gala. Relegated to a siding adjacent to the engine shed at Haworth Sc51803, paired with M51189 and both looking very smart in their BR corporate blue livery, has a few days off whilst the steam gala is held at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBRJ Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Its far from the best ever picture, even by me, but I thought it captured the feel of a cold night at the station. Someone mentioned posh units on Sheffield to Leeds trains. This one was more the usual standard of transport provided and I assume it had just come the other way. Platform 8 is (or at least was) the usual termination point for units arriving at Sheffield for an overnight stay and fuelling, cleaning etc. This unit must have been one of the first ones to get there, as it is right down at the south end of the platform. Sometimes Leeds based drivers would stop short, nearer to the footbridge for a quicker walk over to their next train, and cause all sorts of chaos due to "platforming issues" for subsequent arrivals.

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted April 13 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13 (edited) How about the view from a DMU? We had a ride on the Forest of Dean railway's class 108 last weekend from Norchard to Parkend and back. Bought back all the memories of being able to view ahead on Cambian and Central Wales lines. As a bonus, the crew left the cab door open and we had some commentary about wildlife, stock restoration and sheep! Very enjoyable all round. Wooly idiots on the line at Norchard as we waited for the train to arrive. Edited April 13 by Ramblin Rich phone keyboard mishap 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
