    I went over to Crewe today to see 71000 Duke of Gloucester with the members special 'The Impossible Dream' Crewe Wednesday 8th October 2025
    https://railway-photography.smugmug.com/Days-out/2025/October-2025/71000-/i-WjSGn84
    Due to problem not of the making by 71000 Duke of Gloucester, a train had run into some cows on the line on the route the Duke was going to take'71000 left Crewe depot on time but was kept in Gresty Green sidings for nearly 2 hours, when the line was officially reopened the Duke pulled into platform 12 needing to top up on water after waiting so long in the sidings.

    'The Impossible Dream' ; says the headboard on the supporters train today. Again a well done to all involved in realising the dream.

    Chirk station, the driver opened the whistle all the way through (was Oswald there ?) , though probably for a youngster on the platform with his parents - hope he enjoyed it, and Oakengates and an amazingly empty road (it's usually busy).
