57313 accelerates past Hunslet Yard with 1Z40 0750 Leeds - Carlisle 'Northern Belle' charter. 57314 was on the rear of the train, which was steam hauled forward from Carnforth (07/09/2022)

Viewed from a different angle, 66706 'Nene Valley' leads 6M38 1125 Arcow - Pendleton past the same spot in some considerably better light (13/09/2022)

Seconds before a pair of its class mates passed through the main-line platform behind me on a 'Statesman' charter, 47306 crawls around the curve into Bodmin Parkway with the 1030 from Bodmin General during a diesel running day at the Bodmin & Wenford Railway (24/09/2022)

By lunchtime the sunlight that I'd been hoping for earlier that morning was considerably more prevalent: 47306 runs round at Bodmin parkway after arriving with the 1315 from Bodmin General (24/09/2022)

A few minutes later 'The Sapper' awaits departure from Parkway with the 1345 back to Bodmin General (24/09/2022)

Later that evening 47853 + 47593 are pictured on arrival back into Penzance with 1Z82 1623 return 'Statesman' charter from Kingswear (24/09/2022)

The following morning was blessed with an almost clear blue sky above the Cornish terminus as 47593 + 47853 await departure from Penzance with 1Z28 0937 to York (25/09/2022)
