Just a few train pictures from over the summer, taken whilst on the way to and from some gallery visits... some of these ended up being published online incidentally. Carnforth first, above, with a train from Barrow in Furness just about to set off.
Leeds next, before and after a visit to the Tetley. Just a few pics on the phone, which is better than getting an SLR out for pics on the station (the rules state you're meant to notify station staff if there specifically to take pictures, but just getting a few snaps on the phone is a lot less hassle).
EMT High Speed Train. Nice to see these still around, a proper design classic by Sir Kenneth Grange, and something that I've been studying as research for a miniatures build I'm doing.
The slightly uninspiring new Northern livery.
Under the roof at Leeds. Despite only being rebuilt relatively recently, it is apparently going to be rebuilt yet again, as part of the redevelopment ready for HS2 (because Leeds needs even more shops and trendy inner-city apartments). Meanwhile, nearby Bradford still has a concrete wonderland for one station, and a glorified bus shelter for the other. Cest la vie.
Saltaire, with a train from Settle passing through in the rain...
...and the Scarborough Spa Express heading through Bingley on one of the last runs of the season in September. Shame it isn't steam-hauled until York, but at least the class 33's made for unusual and rare motive power.
