Harringay or Ally Pally before work. I like this 08.18 path and a 9am start at work!

 

Just wondering when last a steam hauled passenger train stopped to pick up at Hitchin.

 

on time departlondon

 

On the slow through Finsbury Park, just about on time, looking good and was carrying the "Mid Hants Railway" headboard. Made a reyt good noise passing through Finsbury Park.

 

Saw her at Cadwell Crossing just north of Hitchin. They'd turned her fast road so was accelerating like billyo. Superb.

 

My pictures at Abbots Ripton and Holme are now on Fotopic:

I've still got proper captions to do, but I don't suppose you will need those!

 

About thirty minutes late at Malton, and then the rain came and it hasn't stopped since.

Nice one Stuart Better than my eminently forgettable efforts at Grantham and Doncaster !

Still, I had a nice day out on the train from Blackpool ! Always nice to see an A4 in its natural habitat

 

That shot at Donny really takes me back John, "The Elizabethan" all over again.

It's a pleasure, especially when it's a streak. :biggrin1:

 

*Glares enviously* I grew up on the WCML never really saw the A4's south of Newcastle. Had to go to Aberdeen in 65/66 to get my fill !

 

I saw her depart York, lucky the rain came just after 60019. Didn't bother with the return as there was really much point with the weather as it was...

I've uploaded a photo from the video clip which will be added to the bonus footage on the NYMR Spring Steam Gala DVD available in 3 weeks. Also we've just launched our new website yesterday available in my signature.

 

I believe 60007 stopped there on a Days Out tour a good few years ago. I'm sure it picked up at WGC too. Could be completely wrong though!

 

Harringay this morning, on time and sounding superb!

 

A few pictures from Scarborough.

The return journey appeared to be delayed because of a signal failure at the gantry.
