Sixty minutes at
Bradford on Avon
Adrian King
 I thought you might be able to use a couple of these shots on the website taken at Bradford on Avon late last Saturday afternoon the 24th March. I was suprised at just how busy the station was with stopping services to Bristol, Weymouth, Cardiff & Southampton. A a trio of non-stop HST's, plus a pair of 800's coupled together which did make an unscheduled stop and a freight headed by DB Shencker 59201 all in less than an hour. Clearly though the main event and star attraction was 60163 Tornado heading the 'Sulis and Sarum Express' with the return from Salisbury to Birmingham New Street.  Regards Adrian   
                                         Many thanks Adrian.

​I went to the Swanage gala yesterday (Saturday) with a couple of friends. Weather not that brilliant, a little sunshine around midday,
then clouded over it rained most of the afternoon.
 30120, 31806,34053, 80014 were the steam locos working,while 'D6515
was used from Norden to River Frome bridge for the 'TOP'N'TAIL part of the run. Here's a few of the pics I took. CHEERS JOHN C.
