    No problem Bobbler, I'm in Morley, we don't forget steam through our home town, especially as it doesn't happen all that often!

    Oi, I'm in Dewsbury, I'd love to see more blasting uphill from Dewsbury to Morley tunnel. Although after Martin Walkers Deltic shook Batley station to it foundations last year I don't think it will stand much more of that. Wonderful sight and sound.:smt120:smt111

    Looks like Mirfield then.
    Suspect that there might be a few MRES members there?

    A few minutes down approaching Rochdale, the sun was hiding behind a cloud for the due time but promptly came out as she came into sight, ruined the shot..:(

    Another gloriously dull day here in West Yorkshire. Here's a couple of Lizzie passing through Elland, and running early through Mirfield after the water stop.

    Nice ones Mike. :smt023

    I wish I'd gone with you to Mirfield, I drove like a lunatic and got to Sherburn in Elmet with 15mins to spare and it had already gone through, bo***cks! ](*,)



    By the way where did those grey boxes come from? ;)

    Cheers Stu!!

    I did wander if you'd made it, as she shot past me 15 minures early, going like the clappers.

    ...with regard to grey boxes I'm keeping it real - none of that Photoshop jiggerypokery magick that you use!

    Eh up all!

    Great to see the old girl out and about today, i had considered Miles Platting given the weather, but didn't fancy climbing the ladder with Josh and the camera ! Settled on Smithy Bridge in the end for the easy life !

    Did anyone else get the funny kind of light today, moody as 'ell !

    Anyway, heres the clip, and yes thats Josh pointing out to me that "its coming" !!!

    Got her on the return at Sowerby Bridge. Was just about on time going quite quickly. Video of today on You Tube later. Surprised i was the only videoer there with about ten watchers. Probably rest in watching X Facta?
    Regards,
    John.
