#FiftyFriday Another 📸 from the excellent #WinterDieselDay recently at #EastLancsRailway, a gloomy early morning shot that didn't look too good in colour but i think this edit suits much better. 50015 'Valiant' arrives into Bury Bolton Street station. #Class50 #LargeLogo #ELR 8/2/25
#SouthernSaturday A long way from her original home, at the grand old age of 65 it's time for 33109 to be retired from service at the #EastLancsRailway for overhaul. She was a star turn at last weekends #WinterDieselDay which marked her final passenger duties. Ramsbottom #ELR 8/2/25
#FortySevenFriday It really is everywhere.. just for LOLs 47765 has become the ubiquitous 47555, seen at Bury last Saturday. A fine example of a right mucky duff. #ELR #WinterDieselDay #EastLancsRailway 8/2/25
#FiftyFriday Some Western Region large logo loveliness in Lancashire last weekend. 50015 'Valiant' arrives into Bury during the #EastLancsRailway #WinterDieselDay last Saturday. Arguably the finest application of this livery on any loco class, it just suits 50s so well. #ELR 8/2/25
Still Got The Blues For You.
It's the 1980s all over again as 40012 'Aureol' & 45108 provide an atmospheric soundtrack to the evening as they await their next duties at Bury Bolton Street station during the final hours of the #EastLancsRailway #WinterDieselDay. #BRBlue #ELR 8/2/25
#ThirtythreeThursday 33109 departing from Bury Bolton Street station last Saturday on her final day of service before retirement for overhaul/refurb. There was plenty of opportunity for mileage behind the bagpiped beauty at the #EastLancsRailway #WinterDieselDay. #ELR #Class33 8/2/25
#MidweekPeak After checking the 📸, most of my pics from the #EastLancsRailway on Saturday seem to contain a certain large blue beast. 45108 was definitely the star of the day for me. Seen here at Heywood, Bury & Ramsbottom at various points during the #ELR #WinterDieselDay 8/2/25.
