Retro Liveries

A spell of super mild days with fine sunshine have given a very Spring-like feel to ely February.
From the 4rd Feb, when industrial action paralysed the network, I was able to carry out some lineside work. A surprise Penzance to St Ives shuttle was operating with multi-coloured 150219/150216 plodding back and forth, coast to coast.
43016 is seen on Lock Rock the same day under darkened skies.
Work on the Ponsandane sidings continues apace.
Some pictures from 6th at Coombe viaduct, and a visit to the eastern end of the patch saw 43184 in action sparkling in the midday sun sporting the inter-city livery passing Laira and returning on Rattery bank.
Best wishes, Craig Munday
