RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted August 19, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2020 Not so long this time. What do I have for you this morning? Oh yes, that same view again, but with an added train. The sun had emerged even more brightly by the time I took this. I think that a duller day, and experimentation with exposures, may be the way forward. That's if I can be bothered,it is a difficult place to reach. So I returned to my comfort zone, and got an 02 going South. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted August 19, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2020 Many thanks for the comments about favourite views. The only surprise was that no-one mentioned the one from Spital Bridge, which always seems to be very popular when I take things from there. Another poll now. Some time back, we looked at country junction stations in the North East, to the East of the ECML. Now we are going West from there across the Dales and the Pennines, and as far as the WCML. This should bring in to play quite a lot of well known locations, says he hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarrMan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 14 hours ago, great northern said: It is certainly different. As a pure record shot, what do you think? Gilbert Nice as a record shot. i always wondered what was the other side of that wall. As I remember, though, at that point the parapet wall was at least 10 to 12 feet high. The road sloped quite steeply down that side of Spittal Bridge, and though the top of the parapet may have been level (I can't remember), the height from path level would increase quite quickly. Of course, the danger is that one's scale varies as you grow taller, and what appeared very tall or large at age 7, appears much smaller as an adult. I do remember that the parapet over the bridge itself was quite high all the way along, and the only spot for watching the trains was at the fence at the back of the footpath just before the parapet started, on the Midland side. Re favorite shots, I agree with all comments that I have read to far. Everything is excellent, though as said before, the unrealistic curves South of Crescent Bridge mean that some shots at that end are only very good. Thanks again for all the pleasure you give us.

I assume the Northern limit is the Scottish border. What is the Southern limit, and are East and west limits inclusive or exclusive? Lloyd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, given that it has already won once, I'm going for one that was previously disqualified, hoping this time it fits the criteria: Reedsmouth Junction. It's a country junction station, in the north of England, twixt ECML and WCML. It's north of the Dales but can still claim 'Pennines', or at least where Pennines gives way to the Cheviots. More info at this ever excellent site: http://disused-stations.org.uk/r/reedsmouth/index.shtml Does it qualify this time, Mr Arbiter? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert, I like the view from the bridge of trains departing northbound snaking out of the down main platform showing plenty of carriages. If that’s what you mean by view from Spittal Bridge then count me in. I was going to say so yesterday but I couldn’t remember which bridge was which - sorry for my ignorance!

Well, this is partly my fault for not being more precise, but I'm afraid you are anticipating again Graham. Looking at a map, which I should have done in the first place, the Newcastle-Carlisle line is a clear boundary. That means Hexham is in, but Reedsmouth sadly isn't. It's time will come though, don't worry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
