    That's what I call dedication, after a gap of 49 years to photograph the same loco in the same location.

    Thanks Ralph, but if truth be told it is only two or three miles from where I live. I remember cycling out there for the 1975 shot. It was one that I had forgotten all about until I got home on Saturday and I then spent part of the evening trying to dig it out. Certainly not premeditated, I assure you.

    Bloody Autocorrect on my phone Peter, it’s more used to typing the names of certain Britpop bands! :)

    RTT now showing next Wednesday’s White Rose outbound via Standedge rather than the Hope Valley.

    I don’t think it was booked 70000 anyway. Was suggested 34046 last week.

    looking at RTT for this charter to York, steam to Guide Bridge, then watering i presume just beyond the station, then pulled back into Guide Bridge station by diesel, before heading steam leading again, for Stalybridge and Huddersfield over Standedge, to York, what has happened to Edale route anybody?
    Thanks, Neil.

    Presumably the New Mills landslip. While other routes through the Manchester area to get to the Hope Valley are possible, paths are in short supply.
