    Hi all,

    I have just added a new update (sorry about how long it's taken!) to The Railways of Great Britain - Home which covers the whole of January-March in both the steam and diesel categories. My thanks as always to the contributors.

    January-March - The Railways of Great Britain


    This period saw a variety of weather conditions with multiple instances of sun and snow,that perfect combination that photographers will travel miles to capture. The heaviest snow fell in late January,prior to a huge ECML diversion via Knottingley and Milford meaning that some very interesting,deep snow pictures were obtained! Also evident is the resurgence of the class 56 with 4 different locos pictured in this period,3 of them main line operational.

    This period's images come from:
    Alan Burkwood
    Gordon Edgar
    Oli Goodman
    Mark Walker

    Highlights from this period include:

    37688 in the south west
    DRS 37's on tour
    Deep January snow in North Yorkshire
    Barrow Hill Night Shoot
    A class 60 on gypsum
    DRS 37's on nuclear waste trains
    47760 at Doncaster
    The return of 56105
    56311 on a new flow of coal from Butterwell to Thoresby,seen on the "South Yorkshire Joint"
    DRS 37's on track infrastructure trains
