St David's Day at Llangollen
A lovely day at Llangollen railway celebrating St David’s Day. I was on duty so my priorities didnt include taking pictures but I did sneak a quick video of the Llangollen Silver Band playing Ar Hyd y Nos while our pannier tank 7754 (with St David Headboard) ran around to haul the 12:20 to Corwen – with the band aboard.
This is a frame…

22nd November 2025
We were treated to two tours heading to the Chester Christmas Market to day – The Cheshireman hauled by 44871 and the Explorer hauled by two Class 37’s (the leading loco was 37669)
Photos taken at Ruabon. Amazing difference 30 minutes makes – the black five came up through the mist but the 37’s came through in almost perfect light

East Lancs Autumn Steam Gala
Sunday 20th October 2025.
I managed to get up to the East Lancs gala to try and catch some action on the last day. Early morning sun at Heywood and then rain at Bury and Rawtenstall made photography interesting but didn’t spoil the day. Plenty of steam – and, alas much smoke – on display – a good day for monochrome photography, but how I…

The Impossible Dream Tour
Wednesday 8th October 2025. Finally managed to see 71000, Duke of Gloucester — resplendent in its new livery – hauling the supporter’s charter train passing through Ruabon station. Trains on the line had been cancelled or delayed in the morning due to sheep on the line between Gobowen and Shrewsbury, but thankfully the charter managed to…

Any idea which loco is on the run from Crewe to Preston and return tomorrow – per RTT?
I’m assuming its a test run – possibly Btittania which i think is due to haul the Fellsman on Wednesday?

I see this test run is now shown on RealTime Trains as. Operated by Blue Peter

Although we had the the test on the list, there was lots of conflicting information on which loco, which is why we chose to leave it as TBC

Thanks Victoria agree this makes sense. I only posted the comment as, unusually, RTT actually showed it was Blue Peter on the train information once it was activated this morning
