Very good Mathew, good to see Braunton again and the clag at Carnforth was lovely . Hope you feel better soon as I had Covid a few weeks back and it was awful .
Nicely captured Mathew, that track at Grantham was pretty poor the way BP was rocking around, I’m not surprised how busy it was at the Station for this one, her final farewell mainline run was on the 9th June 2001 up Shap running from Crewe to Darlington, cheers 👍
