The Great Britain V - 2012

Steaming by a District Line train immediately east of Ealing Broadway station and about to go under the A406 North Circular road bridge. Taken at 1506 - running early? And moving pretty fast:

East of Ealing Broadway station

 

Running slow through Twyford after crossing over from Main to Relief just outside the station, due to a closure of the Main at Ruscombe:

My video from Days 8 & 9 of The Great Britain V, also includes The Cornishman.

 

Guys riding shotgun, cameras in the grass - I wonder what the trespass wallahs will have to say?

And Kristian - that appeared whilst I was tryping - well done for showing that well chosen positions and contexts make for good watching - even in that weather!

 

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it

A couple from Frampton Mansell yesterday.

 

And finally a still shot. One of my first with a new Lumix "Bridge" type camera - quite pleasing considering the dreadful conditions P1040688 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

 

Well done to all who braved Sapperton - some fine shots and videos considering the conditions.

A quick question - where was this shot taken from please ? Haven't seen this angle before


Thanks
STEVE

 

Just above the foot crossing, some 250 metres before the tunnel mouth. <BJ>

 

Well Steve - as I'm a generous chap I am happy to give the game away (though I am sure you would have found it). If you know the lane from which you access the spot over the tunnel entrance, follow the lane a little way towards Frampton M and there's a footpath signed which drops down through the wood and crosses the line. This shot is from the top of the bank by that foot crossing.

If I remember correctly, you were stood next to me at that particular location for Tornado on 7/11/2009.
The weather was not quite so damp that day! <BJ>
