My local bus stop

Owing to the strike not many trains through. Freights with one class 66 and one class 70 but I'm sure the Blue Pullman livery HST came through. I just caught a flash of blue and white from a window

One is correct the Blue Pullman Hst was 46 minutes early Southbound through Carnforth 1540 en route Edinburgh to crewe

I meant interesting steam locos that may have caught your eye in and around the centre

Unlike many years ago, Steamtown is not open to the public

Presumably some eejits compromised 'Elf & Safety'

Understandable your point. Still great photo.. one can normally see into the yard on the platforms. Or watch on youtube

M6 southbound after our meeting was a nightmare (as usual), but I just had a message from George to say they'd just arrived in Chester 4 hours after we parted company in Carnforth!!
He'll probably tell you about it himself but, as a Mod, he'll have to moderate himself

Bealman · June 02, 2023, 08:35:09 PM

Yeah, well 4 long hours later, we're here, and I'm having a beer.

crewearpley40 · June 02, 2023, 08:37:31 PM

George, after that 4 hour journey to Chester you deserve that beer. Take it your by the River dee in a nice pub ?

Bealman · June 02, 2023, 08:39:59 PM

As for the

who caused the traffic jam,

There. I moderated myself.

Bealman · June 02, 2023, 08:55:47 PM

Danger. Feral moderators on the loose!

crewearpley40 · June 02, 2023, 09:02:47 PM

Happy days. Almost matching hat and jumper mick

I hadn't realised @Tank had a camera fitted in the base of the stanchion

Think you may be at Chester a bit early George, Waterman's new Orribly Oversized creation doesn't open for a while.

I did manage to haul my aging carcass right around the city walls though

Bealman · June 04, 2023, 08:25:33 AM

Interesting juxtaposition of bridges at Chester. Railway bridge over river, railway going under the city wall.

I managed to snap a two car ugly thingy hurtling under city wall, even though it was a strike day.

It just dawned on me looking at this that there's no overhead wires here to spoil the picture!

Great pictures, George. Thank you.

I love the chimney on the building in the foreground in Reply #1768. It looks like something I built!

All good wishes

John
