Hi David thanks for thinking of me, funny enough I have not checked the timetables for weeks and today just before it went past I popped onto the website to see if anything was passing by this month. What a stroke of luck.

I like living next to this viaduct, it contains 3 million bricks and was built for the Edinborough - London railway in the 1850's its now part of the East Coast Mainline

Excelent view. Glad to see they sorted last weekends problems out. Apparantly it had a failed piston ring.
