Proof you should never look a gift horse in the mouth?? <br /> <br /> I awoke to clear blue skies but decided to look at a shot I have been thinking of for a while now, only to find it cloudy when i got there Doh!! Stanier's graceful "Princess Elizabeth" 6201 is seen exiting the Standedge Tunnle at Tunnel End, Marsden bang on time with a 1Z68 07:11 Crewe to Scarborough "Scarborough Flyer" on August 19th 2011. In the words of a fellow local tog "You should have stayed at home mate!" - very true Derek, not only did the sun not want to play but trees have now also obscured the Aquaduct from view too....:-(<br /> <br /> PS before I get cries of "Tresspass" messages this is a 100% legal shot from behind the fence!

The kettle completed the rest of the circuit with 706 on the rear as insurance.
