Making the most of our local resident railcards, it was off to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for an afternoon. The arrival of the Class 101 DMU ("Daisy" of course, to the kids) provided an opportunity for some unusual shots.
No, the railway hasn't been mad enough to let us at the controls, but rather these older trains have a glass partition you can see out of the front.
At speed through the woods, from a spot where I (Ben) have taken many lineside shots over the years... odd to see it from this angle.
Keighley station, waiting for the run back up the valley.
The steam service later in the day (after a very nice pie and peas lunch at Oxenhope) was in the hands of the Standard 4.
A bit of long-exposure window hanging resulted.
Finally some shots having another go at something I tried last year at the steam gala, in the tunnels, first at Mytholmes...
...and then at Ingrow.
Haven't managed many railway shots, particularly since the new job started, so nice to get back on the trains for a day.
