The Dorset Coast Express (RTC) - 23/05/09

Nice pics George, im told there's a steam train in them too but personally i can't see it

 

Haven't been out and about much since buying the new place in December but made the effort to take the camera out to see Oliver Cromwell at Ely. Decided to go for an attempt at a more scenic shot



An approriate location to capture the loco as Oliver Cromwell was at one time a resident of Ely and his former home is now a museum

Please bear with me I'm getting cropping on the right of the image when I post and it's been a while since I've mad a submission and can't seem to get it right at the moment

 

They were a highlight of the last trip to Folkestone Harbour with 70013 for many as well.

 

70013 followed the voyager from Southampton and was being driven hard.
There may have been regulation problems around Southampton/Eastleigh as all the Customer Information Screens were dead and the staff at Southampton couldn't access CCF, so there may have been datalink problems with TSDB.

Just got my connection back, Steaming well out of Norwich and got some good video, I got a perfect picture but my camera switched itself to Baby mode and its out of focus ](*,) ](*,)
Those girls were on the Easterling trying to sell me raffle tickets.

 

Here are my pics

Passing Lymington Junction

 

Very pleasing photo! Don't know about the skirts getting higher but clearly they are both wearing Express Headlamps

Pity we can't see if the tail lamps are in position!

 

Don't know where Nigel found those girls (and i won't ask!!),but i much prefer them to Les running up and down the train!!!!! Even managed to tempt me into buying a raffle ticket on the duchy

 

I think the two girls on this tour just go on trips from Norwich as when we asked them they said they go to the UEA the blonde was Irish. is this a new thing for RTC? I know they have done it on trips around xmas for a few years but never heard of it on any other

 

Can't be bad,getting paid to walk around on a steam trip selling raffle tickets and everyone fancies you

 

Perhaps in an attempt to increase revenue, the RYTC are introduced a new onboard service as the train was only 8 coaches long............... \/ .............................dirty people!!!!!!!!! :-$

 

I'll be sending in my application form tomorrow \/

 

But will RTC be intorducing trips where they pay us £80 a ticket to ride as comensation?
