The Scarborough Spa Express 2009

Haha, now now Stuart...

Well there were only two universities in the country that were advertising the course when I applied last year, Edge Hill at Ormskirk near Liverpool and the other been Sunderland, although I was turned down a place at Edge Hill due to the nerves taking over at the interview. Having said that I much preferred the campus at Sunderland and it was a far more laid back atmosphere up there along with the fact only around 5 - 10 people are accepted at Sunderland appose to nearly 60 at Edge Hill meaning more one to one tuition so would most likely have ending up choosing Sunderland even with a place at Edge Hill. I just need to find somewhere to sleep now :-s .

 

This morning at Knaresborough. Quite a few people there, taking the same picture.

Judging by the number at Garforth I'd say there's going to be a glut of photos today, so I'll get one in early, 70013.

 

....photos at Garforth are like buses. One turns up and then two more come along

 

I was wondering where you'd got to, where's the Arthington shot?

 

Mmmm not too happy with it, she looks a bit "lost" behind the parapet. Might have another try later on in the week with my wellies

 

Within a minute or two.

I thought you were on it?

 

I was visiting the NRM Search Engine today and got to York just in time to see her depart at 09.20 - a splended sight and sound. Train only about a quarter full but I guess it fills up for the Scarborough leg.

Lovely Photos Stuart & "Swampthing" I was only around the corner at Manston Crossing this morning, nice easy morning

Was running about 10 - 15 minutes early this evening at Church Fenton and going like the clappers, and came straight down the fast line...

 

It was still going like the clappers going through Horsforth Cutting at 20:10; the last time I heard or saw anything that fast was 92220 back in ‘83 or ‘84. What 1-in-100!

A horse in the meadow, cows in the field, skylarks in the sky and the sun is out..................................................but no bl**dy exhaust! ](*,)

 

Still blows 99% of other shots out the water, exhaust or not Stuart.

 

Thank you, much appreciated.

 

That has to be one of the best photos I've seen on the site. Well done Swiss Toni, or Stuart if thats right,. BUT Ralph says just one modern thing! After a long study, i assumed he meant the SKY dish. BUt then...the car..... So what, well hidden, excellent photo.

 

Definatley being driven well tonight with it a good 10 mins ahead coming into Harrogate. Sounded superb coming off the ex crimple junction over the viaduct and up to us at Hornbeam park.

That shot has an almost HDR ish quality to it, can only be Arthington viaduct. Excellent to see such quality shots produced on my local patch.

 

Well with my mate Peter "chimney chatter" Walker at the controls what would you expect??

The only problem is I must find my hat - about half a pound of cinders in me hair tonight

Perhaps that's why I never suffered the baldy syndrome
