The convoy is seen returning to Washwood Heath from the Nene Valley Railway. First photos were taken at Nuneaton, others at Coleshill Parkway. Nuneaton isn’t one of my favourite stations for photos & after the convoy had passed I noticed it was booked into the loop at Whitacre, and with a Birmingham train approaching I hurried across the footbridge and caught it to Coleshill Parkway for some more photos.

I was expecting to see the 4 steam locos working the services, but D8059 caught me by surprise with a light engine run to Highley and back. The Class 20 had only returned from Washwood Heath the previous day.

I now have a camera which takes videos, the first of which is on the link above. I’m still learning – so don’t expect top quality!!
D8059 at Arley
The colours in the photos seem slightly different to what I am used to, so I need to get used to the settings – or maybe all the old photos were wrong!!!
