66308 ‘Signalman Willie Taylor’ winds its way through the eastern approach to Leeds station with 6M31, the Hunslet to Arcow Quarry. #Class66 #Shed #GBRf #LeedsCityStation

Two tone grey Railfreight liveried 66693 passes through York with 6H12, Tyne Coal Terminal to Drax biomass. Always nice to see a retro livery, and this was one of the best! #Class66 #Shed #York #GBRf

A livery that is quickly disappearing from the rail scene. The former EWS red and yellow seen here on 66116 will soon be a memory as the DB red takes over. #Class66 #York #DB #Shed

86259 ‘Peter Pan/Les Ross’ at York, pantograph raised, compressor running, and getting ready to go. Great to hear this heritage AL6 under the York roof. #Class86 #AL6 #York #AC

As the temperatures rise again, take a look back to cooler times! 6N31 Scunthorpe to Tees Yard caught waiting time. The DB red of 66125 contrasts wonderfully with the bitterly cold snowy back drop of York north yard. #Class66 #York #DB

156436 Pauses at Tyndrum Lower station with a service for Oban. These units have been working this line now for well over 30 years, thoughts must be turning as to what will replace them. #Class156 #Sprinter #Scotrail #WHL

GBRf 66301 ‘Drax Power Station 50’ hauls 6M31, Hunslet to Arcow Quarry through Leeds. Looks rather fetching in its gold livery, though it could do with a wash! #GBRf #Class66 #Shed #Drax #LeedsCityStation

A dreary day in the Glasgow suburbs sees 26024 taking rest outside the shed at Eastfield TMD. Always loved the sound of these little locos, with their Sulzer 6LDA28-A power units. #Class26 #EastfieldTMD #BRCW #BritishRail #BRBlue #Trainspotting

The summer sunshine illuminates an LNER Azuma as it heads north out of platform 5 at York heading for Edinburgh. How long before we see one these in GBR livery? #Hitachi #LNER #York

Bombardier built turbostar 170453 operated by Northern awaits departure for Leeds via Harrogate. One of the many classes I’ve had the opportunity to work on over the years, always quite liked them, with the exception of the hydro faults! #Class170 #Turbostar #York #Northern

‘The Miller and Grange’ charter sits at the stops at Kings Cross, like so many other HSTs have done over the years. Difficult not to reminisce seeing this iconic machine in this livery in the capital. The @125Group should be rightly proud of what they’ve achieved. #HST #InterCity

GBRf 66736 ‘Wolverhampton Wanderers’ hauls 6N71, Doncaster Decoy to Tyne Yard through York. #Class66 #Shed #GBRf #York

BREL built 150201 prepares to start another day of revenue earning service. First run today is a trip to Knottingley and back. I recall seeing this unit fresh out of the works and the implications it would have for locomotives hauled TransPennine services. #BREL #Sprinter #Leeds

Good morning to you all, I hope you all have a wonderful day whatever you have planned. A gloomy afternoon at York suitably brightened up by 1N07! 91101 ‘Flying Scotsman’ heads the once a day IC225 northbound service to Newcastle. #IC225 #Class91 #Electra #Class91 #LNER

Had an amazing day yesterday on the 125 Group charter from Doncaster to Kings Cross and back. It was wonderful to celebrate 50 years of the HST with former colleagues who played their part in this iconic trains story. Huge thanks to the 125 Group. #HST #InterCity125 #KingsCross

91127 ‘Neville Hill’ propels the 11:40 departure from Leeds to London Kings Cross on a wonderfully warm July morning. Still looking the business, an InterCity train the likes of which we’ll probably never see again. #Class91 #LNER #NevilleHill #LeedsCityStation

Summer in the city. A short walk from Leeds Station puts you beside the Leeds to Liverpool canal and this view of arrivals and departures from the west end of Leeds. #Leeds #LeedsLiverpoolCanal

York on a balmy summers evening, and 66021 approaches platform 3 with 4E76, Mossend to Masborough. As usual at York, an Azuma photobombs the shot! #Class66 #DB #Shed

37419 Parked at a very cold Kyle of Lochalsh. I seem to remember this was a Sunday when there was no service, so the train didn’t leave until Monday morning. Stranded in Kyle…I can think of worse places! #Class37 #LargeLogo #HighlandRail #KyleOfLochalsh #Trainspotting

66775 (F231) ‘HMS Argyll’ heads 6D71, Rylstone to Hunslet through Leeds as the early morning sun breaks through. Great to see proper names like this on locomotives. #Class66 #Shed #LeedsCityStation #GBRf
