With a spare day a trip to the Lickey was planned to suss out the location for the next weekends class 40 tour, and whilst I was out why not got the Bag 'O Spanners on tour too
| | |
|
 | A First Great Western HST heads east through Manor Farm, Chosley |
|
| | |
|
 | With the power station dominating the Didcot Skyline 165136 potters towards the station |
|
| | |
|
 | FGW HSTs a plenty at Didcot |
|
| | |
|
 | Two eastbound HSTs work towards London passing Moreton East Cutting |
|
| | |
|
 | A Virgin Cross Country Voyager makes its way east through Moreton, Didcot |
|
| | |
|
 | Not a great shot but still quite a mix of Great Western Main line passenger power.. A Virgin Voyager, a HST and a Western |
|
| | |
|
 | D1015 hauls the Pathfinder tour through Moreton towards Didcot |
|
| Tour in the bag.. off to the Lickey to get some XC HST workings. | |
|
 | With a loaded steel train for the Welsh Works 60023 rolls down the Lickey towards Bromsgrove |
|
| | |
|
 | A Virgin Voyager duet makes light work of the Lickey Incline |
|
| | |
|
 | A virgin Voyager rolls down the Lickey towards Bromsgrove |
|
| | |
|
 | Summer is back and so is the Virgin Cross Country (XC) HST workings, here a Virgin class 43 power car leads a MML livered set towards Bromsgrove. Who's idea was it to put an 'ffin sign there tho?? |
|
| | |
|
 | A Shed powers up the climb whilst a Virgin XC HST rolls down |
|
| With some Lickey action in the bag it was a trip over to see the diverted WCML workings, if only I had remembered that the bridge at Whitacre Junction has been rebuilt making the shot a pale version of its former self. | |
|
 | 57313 drags the heritage repaint 87001 through Whitacre Junction - a shot spoiled by the addition of the oh so useful palisade fence. |
