An evening in West London
Monday, 28th June, 2004

Waiting for a top and tail class 47 working from Glastonbury I decided to visit the Grand Union Canal towpath alongside the Great Western Main line and see what sort of shots could be had. Hoping the ECS move would traverse the flyover I set up position perched on a fence and waited.... and waited and waited. Unfortunately I was told the working was now a HST diagram. So I left the location and headed over to Mitre Bridge Junction for the evenings 6M95 Dungeness to Willesden DRS Nuclear flask working.
