A trip to Crewe
to see the return of 40145 from Carlisle. The Pathfinder charter
had been brought from West Ruislip that morning by 67006 "Royal
Sovereign" which was now sitting waiting in the
evening Sun. 25/04/2009
67006 is in "Royal"
livery.
40145 arrived running
about 20 minutes down. 25/04/2009
Having waited to
see it enter platform 12, it went into platform 11!!! 25/04/2009
A quick dash to
the South end of the station where 47848 "TITAN STAR"
was parked up in the depot yard. 25/04/2009
After much messing around
the class 40 eventually left its train. 25/04/2009
The low, very pale, evening Sun played
havoc with the colours as the passengers watched the departure.
25/04/2009
As 145 left with
much noise from the twintones the class 67 crept up the platform
12 avoiding loop. 25/04/2009
006 stopped just
outside the station and then reversed onto the train. 25/04/2009
I used the camera's
video function to record the train leaving while taking stills
at the same time - you can do that. However the stills were rubbish
so I have to study the manual again so no departure shots. 25/04/2009
221115 entering platform
11 bound for Chester. 25/04/2009
