A quicky from me. Sitting in the sun on a Sunday ballast, thankfully right outside the messroom window  :good: (means I didn't have far to walk). 66058 'Derek Clark' on 6Y46. Slutchers lane foot crossing.

A bit more e-train spotting.

 

Willesden, and Milton Keynes, the latter the 4L18 Trafford Park to Felixstowe, which passed SB at 1758 today.

 

What do I do with Class 70 pictures?

Wil have to look out for this "sand train" now at Helsby :good:

 

Nice photos...

 

 

cheers neil.

 

Thanks Neil. The train is booked to run Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Booked departure time is 07.02 on Monday and 07.12 Wednesday and Friday. The empties are booked to depart Ince and Elton at 13.54, but in reality, it always leaves early. Probably dinner time (ish) is the best time to see it at Helsby.
