WINWICK AND BEYOND


Bevan Price is up first with three shots. The first shows GBRf (Aggregate Industries livery) class 66, 66711 Sence at Summit Tunnel West (Littleborough) on 12th July 2017. The working is a Liverpool - Drax P.S. biomass.







Also taken at the same location on the same date was DB (EWS livery) class 66, 66142 on a Wilton - Knowsley empty 'binliner' working.








Bevan's third pic was taken at Pemberton on 3rd July 2017. pictured is DB class 66, 66019 with another 'binliner' working.








The following six shots are from Jeff Nicholls.












Up first are two shots of class 57s taken at Paddington Station on 6th July 2017. The working was the GWR 'Night Riviera' sleeper service to Penzance. 57603, Tintagel Castle, (left) had brought in empty stock and 57605, Totnes Castle, (right) would head the train out of the station.

Ex BR 'Merchant Navy' class 4-6-2 is up next, No.35028 Clan Line, photographed in Battersea Loop on  7th July 2017. The loco had just backed its support coach onto a Belmond Pullman service which would then head for Victoria Station with a diesel up front.
