| 37s 248 and 676 worked ECS from Carnforth-Poole on Friday for a Spitfire Railtour from Poole to Blackpool on the Saturday. Due to weekend engineering work at Totton the pair of Tractors were to stay at Poole until the early hours of Monday and they would return to Carnforth when the line had re-opened. I ventured out in the rain to take the following shots of the train in Poole sidings. |
Ready for the off on Monday morning!! 37248 and 676 will be leaving Poole sidings at 04.40 in the morning when the line re-opens after weekend engineering work Buy Print |
