The Yorkshireman 03/03/18: Ealing Broadway to York.

Not quite how it happened at Masborough, but still remarkable to get within a few minutes of this in 2018.

 

A clever piece of jiggery pokery there, and they used to say the camera cannot lie......it can now, hehehe!

 

It’s been telling fibs since the dawn of photography.

 

A lot easier now though.

 

We must have said hello? But I think you did a better job with combining the pics than I did.

 

If you're messing about with an image this much, I don't think there are really any limits. I did decide that life is too short to replace the platform canopies and felt that replacing the footbridge would rather obscure the view.

 

Was anyone on this trip and remember any interesting details of it... ?

 

I was on it, what intresting details are you after. We were I think the only train over Harringworth Viaduct that day as the snow was pretty heavy just beyond it.

 

Well it was a little late running ( but that happens) Overheard a conversation that there was a problem with some of the brakes not coming off.. on the 47 ?

 

I seem to remember reading that due to the inclement weather they may have taken some regular Thameslink passengers from St. Albans to Luton & or Bedford. I do know some of the stewards who were on it, if you need to know I can ask them.

 

I don't remember hearing anything about the 47 brakes but I do remember hearing we picked some Thameslink passengers although I think they accidentally boarded. Galfiator's stewards friends should know for certain.

 

Yep. starting to make sense to me mow
