First 67 on the coast
Saturday 23rd June 2001
This apparently peaceful scene is deceptive as we're on the Britannia Bridge
with the traffic roaring behind us while 47 851 passes below with 1A46,
the 09:19 Holyhead to Euston
We cycle on to Holyhead and sit on a station bench to eat our sandwiches.
To our surprise, 47 789 Lindisfarne arrived a few minutes early
at the head of 1D87 but I recovered quickly to grab a quick shot as it glided
to a halt at the terminus.
The loco is on the headshunt ready to run round
The run round is completed but that's not the end of it...
The train headed off to set back onto platform 3, vacating platform 1 for
the charter
