6100 Coast to Coast railtour

Long stop at Eccles: 07.31 - 08.15.

 

Thanks Jason

 

Much more impressive than doing 120+ for a short time then breaking down! Didn't tow 6201 back for repairs...

 

Through Patricroft at 0727 - see attached.

Then the Princess stood under the station bridge at Eccles, taking water from a hydrant on the station forecourt.

The West Coast rake was about half full, doubtless with more passengers to join at Manchester and beyond.

Peter, on a hazy Manchester morning (cooler thank goodness)

Probably going to Mirfield later today.
Seems ages since we had something to see. Looking forward to it.

 

Saw her at Colton Jnc this morning, was going to venture over to Diggle but decided i've got far too much to do this afternoon.

Unfortunately i'm still experiencing website troubles in the fact that the big firewall for the UK is blocking all the websites on the server i'm on, hopefully it will be fixed soon, although the website only seems to go down between the hours of 14:00 and around 18:00, it also doesn't seem to effect everyone just certain ISP's.

I have therefore linked you to the old website server of Teenagetrainphotos, so the footage will be available all the time. It also marks the very start of the very final DVD from Steaming Around Yorkshire.

Footage Available Here

 

Nice clip Simon, very pastoral. Will you be out for the return?

 

Thanks Stuart, I highly doubt it, I've got too many DVDs to burn for tomorrow. Did you go out this morning? Or you venturing out this evening?

 

I went out to Burton Salmon this morning and the usual spot has now been fenced off, so it was a quick trip to Sherburn. Good job I left plenty of time.

I'll be out for the return as well, should be sunny for a change.

As usual 6201 was fashionably late!

 

Ohh that doesn't sound good, it was a really lovely spot at Burton Salmon, well i look forward to your shots i'm sure they'll be a good as ever

And she sure was, anyone know of any reason to why she was so late this morning?

 

I assume late running was due to Watering at Milford as they have uncouple etc,same delay both ways..


My shots now up:

Colton Morning: http://mark-walker.fotopic.net/p59350184.html

(Vid to come)

 

Outbound at Sherburn in Elmet.

A popular spot today, probably something to do with Burton Salmon no longer available.

 

Top shot Stu,may i ask,where abouts is that location at Sherburn? Looks decent.

Cheers,
Mark

 

Here is dad's vid:

HERE you go Mark, either on the road bridge or under it, which ever turns you on. ;-)

 

Ah cheers mate,its just down the little road from the station car park sort of thing then?


Been looking for an alternative location for ages and 'Sherburn' keeps cropping up.
Cheers,
Mark

 

Great to see everyone's photo's and video's, I was travelling on the train today to 'celebrate' my 60th.Birthday. Travelling from my hometown behind an ex Edge Hill engine seemed a good way to pass the day. Having just returned home after being on a roasting hot train for nearly five hours I have to say linesiding is much more fun!! Mind you the food was good and there was some good spells of fast running on the way back from Scarborough.

 

Fantastic photographs Stuart as is to be expected Keep the great work up

Happy Birthday Austin, glad you had an enjoyable trip and hope you didn't get too drunk Happy Birthday.

 

p**s poor attempt on the return journey, no exhaust, no light, excuses excuses, :smt022
