    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.

    Chers, Neil

    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!

    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

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