Thanks Cliff, hope to catch up later at St Helens all being well. It's great to see her in the LMS Maroon colours. Yes the bridge at Old Lane, 7.40am, early start. The bridge at Eccleston Park station looks like a good spot for the return run some time

Many thanks, best regards,

Excellent shot and a good location. I always think a curve adds something to a train picture.

Nice to see that she is working, on the approach to St Helens. I usually avoid locations just before a stop, because as the train coasts in, there is less likely to be a good display of steam.

Nice one John. You had better light than I did for the same train later today at Kirkby Stephen. I'm about to upload one now.
