    One extremely hot day over on the KWVR, with Lancashire & Yorkshire No.957 in charge of the vintage stock whilst BR 4MT No.80002 hauled the main passenger set, I wonder just how much more weather like that we'll get, or was that summer?? :|

    Anyway the day consisted of:
    - 80002 approaching Haworth station
    - 957 at Mytholmes tunnel
    - 80002 on Oakworth bank
    - 957 at Damems loop
    - 80002 just after departing Oakworth station
    - 957 at Mytholmes tunnel bank
    - 80002 departing Haworth station
    - 957 at Top field in perfect lighting ;)

    Anyway i've managed to upload a couple of the shots from the above, and the rest can be viewed on the Part 3 DVD available next month.

    Nice videos Simon, and also nice to meet you at Mytholmes. A couple of my stills from later in the afternoon are below:

    Of interest may be that some tree planting has taken place in the field adjacent to the line, that will potentially ruin the location for future generations. The fences 'protecting' these can be seen at the bottom of the images. It's sad that the landowners have felt this necessary.
