    From my house just south of Leeds at 15:50 on a normal working Tuesday, Pickering is 70 minutes whilst the ELR station at Bury is 99 minutes. But the point is absolutely valid, that there's a section of West Yorkshire where they're in...

    I inadvertently touched a bit of a nerve with my comment about the chap wandering about alongside SNG and agree with most of what has been said. I chose the location as, I like the angle, the close up view and the sun was shining on that side of...

    That's brilliant news! We must have deep pockets, because it's not cheap to hire. So come one, come all! I have a photograph of one at Long Marston in 1951, taken by the signalman. Described as a Leamington to Honeybourne journey. [ATTACH] Is...

    In 99% 0f cases it certainly does. The exception I can think of was once in 1990, when John Cameron stood on the track in front of 60009 at Appleby just for a few moments. I cherish that shot This is the main reason I avoid stations for...

    You usually need to wait for the right moment, many a time I have had to wait for the people you describe to get out the way. With the improvement in quality of the cameras in mobile phones it is lot easier that it use to be with a conventional...

    I totally get this, and I’m not disagreeing but I want to amplify the bit about balance. I have been steam dept, in the dim and distant past - but the reverse of your comment is also true. These are businesses and *if* they have come down on the...

    As @21B says, this means that the trainee/cleaner can't ride on the loco for that trip if one is rotered and. on the NYMR, that's usually the case. I try and make the footplate passenger part of the team by inviting him/her to fill the back end...
