Delighted I was able to have been of help.

I shall take you up on that offer one day soon I think. I feel the need to go to the Midlands area to do some photography !

(Tongue in cheek) glad you got to see it, seems you went off a bit early on the first two shots. Don't make a habit of it as you grow up, the ladies will get so disappointed if you do it again.

haha, yeah after getting rained on monday waiting for it it sorta payed off, totally know what you mean about early shots though, I did want to goto Burton to fot it as it had a wee wait there but my mate decided not to risk it on a WMDR

some of them are blurry shots but good none the less,


Also thus far all the class 70 photos have it without anything being pulled by it, is it a lazy engine or is it going to have a load soon?

Quite good, you get the usual class 66`s on the High level and low level, on the low level you get class 92`s, 90`s and some 86`s later on.
you may also get 60`s on the high level and a class 56

Its a good spot and there is a nice little shop that`ll keep you fed and watered (tea, toast, crisps, pot noodle, sausage rolls...)
