| This collection includes a number of images taken on the 18th of April 2009, and include shots of the steam loco 45407 hauling the 'Cotton Mill Express' towards Brighouse, brand new A1 Pacific 'Tornado' hauling the "Yorkshire Pullman" along the East Coast Main Line between York and London, a few other diesel locos on the ECML, and some shots from inside the National Railway Museum at York.
Every railway enthusiast should visit this place at least once in their lifetime, a true mecca for all rail fans, and a place I never get tired of visiting, having been there many times over the past 30 years. If nothing else it's worth going just to sit in one of the seats on that 'Bullet Train' and compare it to the overcrowded cattle trucks foisted upon us by private rail operators like Northern Rail! 
It was a great day out, the only complaint being the rip off prices charged in York for using the Park & Ride service - could do better York City Council, not a great way to encourage visitors to return, or leave their cars outside the city centre! I went to the above events with my friend 'Conwy Castle', and you can also check out his videos of them from the gallery links at the foot of the page - enjoy! |
