Some familiar sights there ... we've done that railway a few times over the years, although its usually a 'rainy-day option', so I haven't seen it bathed in sunshine like this.

Nos 2 & 7 I like best for the compositions - and No 8 (the last one) catches many aspects of the experience in the one shot.

Could you try and give No 7 (the one with the railwayman on the platform) a bit of a colour boost? It would be nice to see those flowers and the sky with a bit more punch

Nigel, thank you for viewing and commenting. That was one of the very hot sunny days, and it was such a pleasant route that it was good to stay in the carriage for two return journeys - most of the time in the buffet car with the cold drinks! With No.7 you could well be right - I will have a go at boosting it a bit.
