57010 & 37605/610 on flasks 08/04

A trip out after work yielded these:

http://www.ferret.fotopic.net/p57396853.html - 37605/610 with 6M67 Bridgwater-Crewe

Very nice shot, although I've no idea where that fantastic location is.

Is this the first day they've ran in the best part of a year?

The Keyham definitely hasn't run for a while, though the Bridgwater has been a regular runner this year (back today after a 2 week break though).

As for the location, it's a level crossing between Ashchurch and Cheltenham. There's ample space for parking there too. Having eyed it up from passing trains whilst at work, and having seen a fot of a 47 there on Matt Wilson's site I must admit I've been meaning to do the shot for quite a while!!! Was great to get it done today, just a pity I couldn't have full sun for the 2 DRS workings but hey - can't win 'em all.

Nice shots there again mark. Well I have not seen those flaks before that on 57010 they look bulleit proof I also notice that working only has one loco where others have two.
