    Yes, but am a little concerned at the non arrival of the tickets yet. I put the delay down to the issues with 6201. Have you got yours ?

    I'm not on it, but when I was at Crewe on Monday I was assured that 6201 was fully fit.

    It should be a good run over S&C as I think there will only be 7/8 carriages.

    Running slightly ahead of time and having caught up a 'Pacer' 6201 was accelerating hard after being checked by signals at Goose Hill Jct., Normanton. David

    Nice shot, I like the way you've got the Emley Moor mast in.

    On one of the wettest days I can recall on Shap & the S&C, I managed a video of Lizzie as she was more or less on time just north of Garsdale -- and the rain held off just long enough -- unlike at Scout Green where I have an interesting vid of the Scot storming up Shap seen through a wet and misty lense !!

    Small world Ralph, now I know who to look out for. I thought you were quite brave (mad) in getting out of the car a long time before I did.
    At least it wasn't as wet as Shap!!

    Mike, although I had been there earlier I was still not quite sure exactly where I was going to go, I had thought of heading up the hillside but the sound would have not been to good up there so in the end I stayed put. Yes it is better on the top for getting the going away shot...

    Bobbler, I had not noticed that, but if you listen carefully as 6201 gets further away, you can hear some conversation from a couple of guys who were already walking away and discussing the shot.

    Yep. Top notch photo. Thanks for sharing.

    Which software did you use to get sunshine over the whole scene!
