 A misty Spring morning on the Conwy estuary and 57601 plods across the cob towards Conwy with the Holy Oakes charter by Spitfire Railtours from Weston-Super-Mare to Holyhead. 26/03/2011

 601 entering the Conwy River bridge. 26/03/2011

 On the rear end of the train were two WCRC class 37's numbers 37676 "Loch Rannoch" (remember that name?) and 37685. 26/03/2011

 601 emerging from the bridge alongside the magnificent castle at Conwy.....

 .....followed by the two class 37's. 26/03/2011

 The bridge in its entirety. 26/03/2011

 On Conwy station the return of the charter is preceded by the arrival of 150258 in the down platform. 26/03/2011
