Many thanks Alan, the pride taken in keeping the box spotless even as its days draw to a close is apparent from these - a real credit to the NR staff. It'll be a sad day when it closes.

I was hoping for a pink sky above the unit tonight, but sadly it wasn't to be. Just before 18:00, a GWR Class 150 departs Goonbarrow Junction headed for Par. The days are slowly getting longer once again. Copyright Jon Hird.
