Seen one at last - DRS
Class 37 number 37609 headed North through Crewe station with
something sounding a little rough! 13/9/2006
57312 "The
Hood" passed through platform 5 before reversing
into bay platform 2. 13/9/2006
A quite miserable time
at Crewe with very little happening, I was just in time to get
a snatched shot of 66612 "Forth Raider"
emerging from the Chester line with the Penmaenmawr stone. 13/9/2006
Crewe station and the
morning Pendolino "drag" is about to leave for Holyhead.
57312 "The Hood" is in charge with 390022
"Virgin Hope" hanging on the rear. 7/9/2006
312 made a snappy start
as it passed over the pointwork. 7/9/2006
Minutes later 66555 slid
to a halt to await a green before heading off for Penmaenmawr.
7/9/2006
57316 "FAB
1" arrived off the Manchester line and entered platform
1.......
......minutes later it
headed back towards Manchester, I suspect it was a route learning
turn. 7/9/2006
A bright and clean Super
Voyager, 221140 "Vasco da Gama", entered
platform 5 en route for Plymouth. 7/9/2006
158824 entered bay platform
9 and minutes later 153362 "Dylan Thomas 1914-1953"
left for Chester on shuttle duty. 7/9/2006
A quick look at the now
open vista at Horse Landing. 7/9/2006
66139 was heading down
under on the avoiding line. 7/9/2006
As 139 entered the tunnel
it was clear that the Manchester line (bottom right) was still
out of use and, indeed, there is a "STOP" sign clamped
to the line just inside the tunnel. 7/9/2006
- BANGOR - HOLYHEAD
