Yes, it does have sunshine. I usually get good weather when I go to most places (except Carlisle) . This is actually one of Dad's photos, he could get the sun to appear just about anywhere he went. David

I think it was a "special" livery. David

Yes, it was on a railtour, "The Elizabethan", 22nd October 1966. It ran Kings Cross to Newcastle and return. Motive power was Flying Scotsman between Kings X and York, Lamport and Holt line on the York to Newcastle and return section. It was in York on the return journey from 15.11 to 15.22 while the loco change took place. Information from the "Six Bells Junction" website. David

That makes sense. I think it is a number Dad tried to read off the slide not from his notes. David

You could well be right, I hadn't noticed the signal. David

I'm honestly not sure, I can't remember exactly where I was when I took that photo, except that it was taken from one of the road entrances to the docks, which officially had no public access. The gateman allowed me to take one photo before asking me to leave. David

Oops (again). David

My apologies to everyone, I meant to type that Southsisde is SOUTH of Warkworth, not north. That will have confused you all, except those who know the area very well. Woodenhead's post shows the correct site of the junction. Obviously it is the junction for Whittle colliery, not Shilbottle. The next junction north, at High Buston/Wooden Gates was the south facing junction to Shilbottle colliery. The junction for Alnwick was immediately north of Alnmouth station. As I've now said above, I've only lived in Northumberland for 37 years so I should have got it right. Original post is now corrected. David

Today we visit Southside on the ECML in NOrthumberland, SOUTH OF WARKWORTH It is the site of the junction of the former line to WHITTLE Colliery. Southside 254003 up Aug 80 C5159 Southside Class 45 up Aug 80 C5161 Southside 37154 down tanks April 81 C5327 Southside Class 101 Newcastle to Alnmouth Nov 82 C5876 Southside Class 47 47401 up ballast 24th June 85 C 6964 Edited to correct where the junction is and the colliery it served. I've only lived in Northumberland for 37 years, so I ought to know it well. David
