York Yuletide Express 60009 13/12/12

A starter for this one. Lakenheath around 10 down heading from Norwich to York. It was a bit cold out there (-5.5 according to the car)

Thanks for looking cheers Simon

 

Great shots, chaps. Steam in cold weather produces some lovely effects.

 

Away from York a few mins late at 17.15 after last minute platform change.

 

Hmmm! :rant:

Back on time approaching Donny, only to be held outside for a few minutes. Crossed over on to up slow, passed through platform 3 with the regulator open and whistle blowing. A nice surprise for the waiting commuters! Stopped another 3 times before Loversall Carr Junc to allow other services to overtake. Probably around 15 minutes down still.

 

My dads video from Doncaster in the fog last week is now on at :

Only 36 seconds long,although hardly surprising when it came out of the fog at 75mph!

Cheers,

Especially when driving through a centre like Donny at 75

 

Love it, streak at speed with the chime blowing, magic. :thumb:

 

Absolutely, but an awful lot easier nowadays with TPWS, AWS and colour light signals than in the past with oil lit signals (and probably more of them to add to the potential for confusion) and a lot thicker fogs than we get these days.

 

This is actually the Christmas Yorkshireman of the rainy 22/12, as the York Yuletide express ran on a crisp 13th and didn't go through Oakham.
