Another quick grab from Peterborough station - 69009 having followed my passenger train up from Ely (saw it waiting in the sidings)

Many years ago (30??) the parents of a girl I worked with, lived in the station house

I actually reported my first ever post on here a day or two ago, but nothing happened as far as I am aware.

'Tis a bit ironic considering its me who usually gets reported for things.

Why? Do you comment outlandish things?

Remnants of the rail network in Calder Vale Industrial Estate
Between KirkGate (railway) station & the River Calder
Wakefield
I'd gone down to a gas-bottle supplier that's in that part of the estate, to get an exchange propane bottle for the caravan

It's part of the section between the Steel Boat Works' & 'Calder Vale Boiler Works'
(underneath the 'E' of CALDER VALE, as written in capitals)

These passed me at a level crossing south of Cambridge about 4.30 this afternoon. I had just seen your post before that, and when I heard that deep throbbing growl coming down the track I guessed what it was going to be. What a sound!

You were on platform 16/17?

You were on platform 16/17?

Platform 12 ...
Caught a very overcrowded Cross Country train to Bristol.

Platform 12 ...
Caught a very overcrowded Cross Country train to Bristol.

And platform 7 for the LNER Azuma pic - it'll be the quarter past the hour Kings Cross departure that I can't catch as it doesn't stop at Peterborough. The quarter to the hour one that does stop at Peterborough leaves from platform 8.

I really do need to get out less

As the last box cleared another double header emerged
