The Humber Bosun - 13/07/14

[Tim R-T-C]

Rather late in posting these, but I hope they are of some interest.

This UKRailtours trip was on a Sunday which meant for the first time I was able to go on a railtour (I work every Saturday which somewhat precludes travelling on most tours).

A trip from Kings Cross to the heart of the Port of Hull complex and the King George Dock. We travelled down to Peterborough to join.

The full gallery of the tour is here, including shots of the entire rake, but a few highlights are below:

As a bonus, while awaiting our EC train down to Peterborough in the morning, a top and tailed class 20 ballast train came past:
