66718 rolls through Knottingley Station 10 mins early with a 6H94 13:05 Tyne Coal Terminal to Drax Biomass on 11th May 2014.<br /> <br /> This was not my initial choice for the shot :-(!. Having picked up on the initial post on North East Gen I tracked the train on RTT which was running over an hour late. Tying this in with a visit to my Bros in Castleford I had originally the location of Little Fenton or Sherburn in mind. I checked the train progress when I set off only to find the bloody thing wasnow running to time then early at Church Fenton meaning Burton Salomon was the next target. Coming off the '62 at Ferrybridge I checked again to find it had missed out the booked 10 min stop at Milford Sidings and as it was routed via Catleford for some reason KnottiNgley was last chance SALOON.....

  • 20309+303 in "Full Bling" passing through Horbury Cutting around an hour early with a 6A02 09:00 Heaton Lodge Jcn to Doncaster Belmont (via Marsden) on 18th May 2014.<br /> <br /> This was a close run thing as I only saw the tip off email while casually packing away Disco Equipment from the night before! After being stuck behind a fecking learner driver I had to plump for Slazengers and not my original intended shot at Horbury Junction. I could hear the train in the cutting as I got out of the car and ran to the bridge for a VERY rushed shot, not having time to check the camera settings!
