    I can't wait to see the first 323 in new colours! Am I the only so impatient? ;)

    Thank you very much! As you can see I did some pictures yet, but not ones I wanted most.

    Blackpool - Manchester Electrification

    I also wanted to bring some historical pictures from today, from Chorley, but despite my birthday today, everything went wrong (I wanted to take pictures of entering EMUs) - too long to explain, but here they are:

    Northern 333 refurbishments

    OMG! Why this train must look always like a Pokemon?! Couldn't the bottom of the front be painted blue or dark grey?! The ugliest thing on rails of our times! :( Other parts (sides) of a new Northern livery look very good, so even bigger shame!

    What Tiggers like most: electrification progress and beer combined. ;) Mounting AT wires at Chorley station seen from Railway Inn.

    Blackpool - Manchester Electrification

    Does "couple" always mean two? Or rather in this case for certain? I'm asking seriously, English isn't my mother's tongue. Maybe it's just the difference between an optimist and a pessimist? ;)

    I'm trying again to upload resized in Paint pics of electrification progress about river Chor aqueduct. Uhhh! :) The aqueduct seen from the East, so wires on its left are obviously on its South. A look from farther South. And more to the South. I tried to send full version of these...

    Some pictures from Chorley Chorley arches area activity: Unfortunately the opposite side of the tunnel is completely out of sight from above (the street) because of plants. I also wanted to throw a bit of light on a progress about river Chor aqueduct. I found it somehow with a help of Google...

    I checked at Hogg's Lane today and I'm glad to share a good news: two vertical parts of first portal attached to the viaduct! :)

    I was at Hogg's Lane today but nothing changed there.

    Blackpool - Manchester Electrification

    I hadn't taken them, because I didn't think about being here, although I read about progress every day. Next time I do but my camera is not perfect, hopefully the pictures will be good enough. Actually the wires I saw were not at the station itself but towards the north from it.

    Blackpool - Manchester Electrification

    Good afternoon, I've just joined... I had a pleasure to see some earth wires in Chorley station being instaled today. It looks to me as if the metalwork at the station was finished but some distances seem to me to long (hard to judge, I'm just trying to compare one to another). Are they short...
