I was at the Lakeside and Haverthwthewthewwaite (Haverthwaite) Railway yesterday and copped a class 20, a class 11 a class 110 and some shunters for sight! 🤣

Some steam locos too

I was only there between trains, so it was a rushed job, sorry:

Your crap railway pictures... 🤣:

From the loco in the previous post:

I forgot to photo the info sign on this one:

Northiam, sat outside and Princess behind.
Unfortunately I had sod all time, so these pictures were pretty much quick snaps:

The class 110, hiding. I'd have loved to have seen it properly

My loco, 'Victor'!

This was the disabled coach, a standard MK1 by the looks of it, but has clearly been converted and had windows added. Unfortunately, the glass was filthy!:

Named after the plane, seemingly:

I had very little time here as I had a boat to catch back at Lakeside, hence the slightly odd pictures:

Then... My phone ran out of battery 🙄🤦‍♂️🤣:

Good location for a bollard ... 😳

Indeed. Stops traffic incursion. i.e. someone driving their car onto the footpath, then station platform, then track.

Presumably this beer mat did not sell in Swindon

Which boat did you get?

Which boat did you get?

Oh yeah, forgot, the 'Tern' from Bowness to Lakeside and then the 'Swan' back to Bowness. Due to the nature of things, I didn't get any decent pictures of them, particularly as we were just arriving when Tern did at Bowness and then my phone ran out of juice on the train before I even got on the Swan.

I did have a pint of the 'Swan' beer though!
