It's booked joint line isn't it, rather than ECML, so probably not too much festering in loops?

 

34028 is Captured on the Bath and Bristol Christmas Express from Three Bridges to Bristol. Enjoy

 

A fun couple of days filming after 61306 & 71000 headed along the same route the day before, Eddystone captured on the Three Bridges to Bath & Bristol tour:

 

Going in blind as to not knowing what the weather was going to be for the day, turned out to be one of the best days for filming weather wise!

Fantastic collection of Loco movement, light and contours of the Railway through the landscape.

Very unusual returning to London via MML but perhaps not surprising if there’s no space on the ECML

 

44871 and 'The Christmas White Rose' this morning. Powering through Waterbeach just as it was getting light and then arrival and departure from Ely after water in the reception sidings.

Via Lincoln perhaps?

 

York Yuletide Express. Left Kettering a few mins late in the fog. With 33207/33025 on the front ,47802 on the rear .Sound like a wheel flat on 33025 or the first coach.
