Not many more Shakespeare Express runs this year, so better make the most of it. Last time I saw it the loco was 4965 & I was expecting the same today, but when I walked to the end of the platform I realised it was the Castle. I hadn’t noticed which loco it was as I filmed it coming out of the tunnel! Also a couple of shots of it running round, then returning with the stock to Tyseley.

Update 939. 43106, 2857, 4566, 50026 & 7812 at Arley, 24/08/14
A vist to Arley on a Sunday with 5 trains running. Had to make the most of the day as Bank Holiday Monday was forecast to be a very wet day.
Update 938. 60059 on the Shakespearean Tug at Tyseley, 25/08/14
Too wet to go to Arley, but the opportunity to see a 60 on a railtour was worth an hour or two out. Tyseley was a suitable station to go to, as there is plenty of cover from the rain and a good shot looking through the road bridge. I still managed to get a spot of water on the lens though!
The tour was returning to Leeds from Stratford-upon-Avon.
Turned off “comments” option
There has been so much spam coming through recently that I decided to block all comments. Dozens were coming through every hour, and as I rarely get any real comments the best solution seemed to stop them altogether. If I spend less time deleting spam, then I might have more time doing something more constructive, well, that’s the theory….
