Snowy South Yorkshire 01/12/10

I've already posted these a couple of other places but I thought I'd pull a bit of a Dimmer and post them here too It's not often I take phots these days.

Newton Heath's 142033 departs Mexborough with a heavily delayed Sheffield service.

66207 and a frozen looking 66005 sitting on the down main at Doncaster not going anywhere fast.

The strange sight of a 185 in platform 3 at Sheffield. 185105 had been dumped here due to the cancellation of STPE services.

158908 and 142094 await their next orders in platform 6. Note the middle sidings have disappeared under the snow!

66069 and 66102 arrive with a pair of ZZA snowploughs. I've never seen these out in service before so to see them at Sheffield was quite suprising!

150225 waits time at Swinton after arriving 6 minutes early on a Sheffield-Leeds working due to missing out the Rotherham Loop.

Surely if you are using that description, all your pictures should be from the same place?

Thanks

@ tbw yes, true!

As for the snowploughs, I'm not sure about them. I thought possibly the Hope Valley route, but it remained closed so maybe not. I spotted them again today going through Mexborough towards Sheffield.

I'm sure there'll be snow again but as for the random events that happened - who knows! Thanks

Snowploughs formed 1Z99 Doncaster - Doncaster via the Arctic as far as I know
