Lincoln - Saturday 6th December

Link please ??

 

Believe it or not, a return ticket is cheaper than a single one. And what is more, you need the return ticket to get back out of the station. I used to do it at Reading when the "Gestapo" station staff would not let enthusiasts on the platforms.

 

Same type of staff at Loughborough ! Very anti enthusiast ! Your right about needing a return ticket to get through the barrier. I had to get the attendant of his Arse, to let me out, and he wasn't to happy !

 

They were indeed side by side...

There was a man from Network rail here, but everyone seemed quite relaxed about plenty of people were on the wrong side of the level crossing barriers - with a mainline in the foreground. A train did come through while I was there, however there was plenty of time for everyone to move and get behind the barriers.

 

My video of a freezing cold morning at Whitacre

 

An utterly gorgeous sight at Harringay this morning. Much relief that the stopper that was booked to head south was a tad late! Phew....!


60009 Harringay 6-12-14 (V17295) by TimEaster, on Flickr

 

The Lindum Fayre, 60009 Union of South Africa.
Filmed at Offord Cluney, Sleaford North Junction and alongside 4965 Rood Ashton Hall at Terrace Sidings, Lincoln.

 

Like the sleaford shot a lot, good crop of winter gricers springing up in that field i see.

 

It was a very popular location. I guess the attraction was a main line steam train using the Sleaford avoiding line rather than going through the station.

 

My photo of 60009 from today is up at:

Had a good day out with this trip today. Took along the camera and managed a couple of shots:

 

60009 storming through Arlesey on her way back to London.

 

My attempt of 60009 over the Welwyn Viaduct - 3 seperate shots, 1 pan, 2 stills.

 

interesting variety of shots.

 

Yes, the air may have got cold in the last few days but the ground is still warm encouraging a late growth.

 

Oh dear. Who are those two reprobates standing on the wrong side of the cattle-grid. Just because they have high-vis's on....
