First drive of 2026! 93003 0Q74 Worksop - Bicester, as far as Leicester for me. Very cold frosty start with a lovely sunrise.

Signaller requested I go via Chadd to get on to the RTC from Litchurch Lane this evening. Stroke of luck as the sky caught fire as I changed ends. 0R57 Derby Litchurch lane - Derby RTC. Nice addition to my Sunset collection. 📷 08/12/2025

Had to wait a couple of days but the first magnificent sunrise over the Caribbean this morning.

Today was an early morning run down the WCML from Derby to Preston with 37884. For a 60 year old loco it’s an amazingly smooth ride.

Sitting outside the EDU on Derbys RTC when I dropped 37510 off. A rather splendid looking 37501.

I do love a good sunset and you don’t have to travel too far for a great image. Blackpool North Pier. 27/02/2025

Have to say my favourite photo taken this year so far.

Getting down with the locals.

Spectacular sunsets in Khao Lak Thailand, at Pak Weep beach at the moment.

Unmistakable skyline, featured quite a bit on my work roster the last couple of years. Not sure it will going forward, but it’s a place I’ve grown to enjoy working in, and wandering around with my Camera. @liverpoolvista.bsky.social a real inspiration.
