Blues 'n' Belle : Northern Traction Variety

[wensley]

A very long day 'up north'. The sun certainly wasn't on side but there was no lack of traction variety to photograph! It was a stupidly early start from home to get to Huddersfield for the shot of the first railtour, but I felt it was worth it for a 'different' shot, even with an unwanted pacer in shot

Starting at Huddersfield, 20312 and 20308 were recorded powering away at the start of their tour to Swansea

Next it was back to York to get ex-Arriva 57313 on charter duties
