A really long day. Out at 4.30am, to Ken's house at 6.30am to pick him and Simon up, fight through the West Yorkshire traffic to arrive at Ingrow at 8.30am, half an hour late.

Needn't have worried, no sign of the loco and time for a bacon sarnie and tea. Eventually the loco arrived - but no train. So off to Keighley to pick up some wagons.

More hanging around - first shot of the day at 10.08am. Could have had another hour and a half in bed...

Another day, another charter. This time it's Snibston Colliery, our victim is the fetchingly blue Wimblebury, and of course it's raining.

Yep - it's June - height of the British summer - and it's peeing down and blowing half a gale.

We're hanging around taking the mickey out of each other, watching the sun put in fleeting glimpses as the stock continues to be shunted.
