Despite all the signs that I should stay home (dark, raining etc) I still went because it was such rare traction. The first shot was further evidence of the poor weather and I was tempted to head home afterwards.

But I decided to try one more shot as I lived locally and there was a bit of time for it to change. I went to a field adjacent to the Childrens Farm at Tamworth. The train was the perfect size for the gap in the trees.

Spurred on by the improved weather I went to jump ahead of the panniers at Moor St station and capture them against the busy city backdrop.

Finally, and with mind to my 15:33 start time at New Street I decided to throw caution to the wind and go for one last shot at Kidderminster. I've always wanted to do a shot of the fantastic viaduct but never found a good spot, but with a bit if time in my pocket I went wandering through trees and bramble in the hope of getting a clear enough view. Thankfully I did!

Hope you enjoyed looking, for the record I managed to book on with 7 minutes to spare!
