180102 it seems..
This unit is being used to cover units heading to the overhaul programme at Loughborough, covering both HT and GC units. Its a GC unit in the works at the moment, hence '102 is covering its diagram. The unit has seen use at both Hull, Sunderland and Bradford in recent months.
Yeh, some decent locations, gets better the further your head north for both light and photo locations. Its booked Northallerton at 1732 so you're probably looking at just after 1800 approaching York.
A trip over to the Esk Valley for a couple of shots of 45407 working out of NYMR, ready for a Scottish charter train tomorrow.
Here is the shot approaching Battersby...

I am aware of that...as I was as said location on Saturday as well with FrostedOrange, but your tone was seemingly going down the throat of theblackwatch for correcting the, easy to make, mistake!
Yeh, this particular trip involved some very careful planning, especially to get a different location for every one! Not something I would normally do but felt making the most of what was running was the right thing to do :D

Starting at Northallerton 66434 was caught on the Ditton liner...
Oh it was!!!! Gen was very sketchy but I literally grabbed the camera and ran when I got the call ;) Got soaked and amused the local chav population....but who cares
Was wondering if anyone was going to York or the York area on Saturday for...
- 47s on Cruise Train to Southampton
- 60019 / 70013 on GBV
- 46233 on Kettering to Scarborough
Looks like a good day, myself and FrostedOrange will be in the area so say hi if you see us :D
