    Probably one of my favourites of 2016 so far, 66737 'Lesia' rips through Moore with 1Z31 'The Yorkshire Dales Explorer' (Salisbury to Leeds) 14/5/16 by Swifty's Rail Pics, on Flickr

    Religious Studies finished forever, now to slowly feed the pages of my RS book through a paper shredder where they belong...

      Accumulating knowledge is never wasteful, as you will undoubtedly find out.

      It is useful to learn of other peoples religious beliefs, but the GCSE RS short course is tedious beyond belief

      Many things in life are tedious. You don't always have a choice.

      Higher tier or foundation? Our higher tier was about e-cigarettes and selfies....waste of time

      Higher tier, yes everyones been talking about the daft questions on it!

      Listening wasn't a nice paper but reading for me was a doddle for most of it, was on to the last page with 20 minutes left!

    Fastest and cheapest way really, as there's no wires at Toton and it needs to go by road to get into the NEC

    With DB Schenker now known as DB Cargo, 90019 (ex Scotrail livery) has been painted at Toton It's to be named at Multimodal shortly Note the lack of 'Schenker' logos and DB logo being higher up https://twitter.com/dbcargouk/status/728491135413436416 Photo from DB Cargo UK Twitter feed (see link)

    Looks good!! Spotted the new Dallam freight flow, the odd 60 performing on it too! 60059 Swindon Dalesman 6F07 at Walton by Swifty's Rail Pics, on Flickr

    Double DRS livery 57/3 aren't necessarily rare on 6K73, more uncommon. Here, 57306 'Her Majesty's Railway Inspectorate 175' and 57301 'Goliath' pass Warrington Bank Quay with 6k73 Sellafield BNF to Crewe Coal yard on April 26, 2016 Interestingly, the pair were booked to work 'K73 the day before on TOPS, but 37604/069 performed instead, presumed to be because 069 needed to return to Crewe. This wasn't an easy shot to pull off, as I have very little experience in dusk lighting, certainly made settings choices interesting...

    By no means perfect, but because of awkward light, and this being the only location available for me it had to do! 47830 'Beeching's Legacy' 5S56 Laira - Carlisle N.Y FGW/GWR stock move for refurb at Kilmarnock. 10/4/16

    And its had about 3 repaints just into europorte livery! (Believed to be because the vinyl GBRf logo kept peeling off!) A pealing 746: https://www.flickr.com/photos/67444577@N02/14699778899/in/photolist-ooYd8M-oJbpwy-8MBXRB-8rEV8j-9suJHC-apkVqt-apkVgt-oer4Jj

    It's a locomotive hauled additionally train ran by Arriva between Holyhead and Manchester and Holyhead and Cardiff generally. Manchester WAG reportedly not got long left though sadly, going back to units. Locos hired of DBS, coaching stock is DB Regio (of the top of my head) and theres an arriva* coach with chiltern covering for the fire damaged one HTH (Sorry for the thread Hijack Jim)

      Is huge the right word, to describe someone so short?

    Whilst waiting for a friend, this snook up on me so this shot had to do. The waiting room building was right in the way of a decent zoom shot so this had to do. By this point an impressive 53 minutes down (With the up working actually passing about 5 minutes after the light loco move (0Z20) back to WWH was meant to pass Acton Bridge!) 66147 roars through Acton Bridge with 6Z20 Washwood Heath R.M.C to Arpley Sidings wagon job. 12/3/16 Next up from Freightliner, 66618 'Railways Illustrated Annual Photographic Award - Alan Barnes' passes Acton Bridge station in some of the better light of the day with 6H35 Runcorn Folly Lane - Northended Bin Liner 12/3/16
