Hi again to part 2 of my UK trip!

After another short night, we visited the KWVR steam gala on sunday. The mainline shuttles were hauled by 37248:

I planned to take a photo of 37248 departing Hellifield, but as I didn't know that there is another line from Blackburne to Hellifield, I got the wrong line... At least I was able to take a photo of a pair of 156s:

After I took the service train back to Keighley, I went to Ingrow West with the Vintage train:

That's the reason why I like British heritage lines - full of nice little details:

This train will take me to Oxenhope:

Another Vintage train in Ingrow:

At least I got a sunny shot of 37248 in Hellifield in the afternoon:

In the evening I went to Crewe via Leeds and Manchster. In Leeds I saw this
MML HST:

In Crewe I had two hours time to take some photos of the last trains of the day:

Even a freight train came by and stopped for a couple of seconds for a nice photo:

The sleeper arrived on time, so it will be the first comfortable night on this trip!
