Good morning all,


Over the weekend of Friday 6 - Sunday 8 October 2017, I was in London and the Bluebell Railway for the Deltic Preservation Society's 40th Anniversary Gala. Having taken around 2,500 photo (thank god for digital!), I'm still slowly getting through them all!

First off, a selection of photos from the Friday - Portlaoise to High Wycombe via Dublin, Gatwick Airport, Ashford International and Ilford. As always click on any of the photos to view them all size

The Saturday was an extremely busy day. The nice logical route from my hotel in East Croydon to East Grinstead (for the Bluebell Railway) was a straight trip there. So I decided to get up a bit earlier, and go via Wimbledon. As you do! In addition, I got word that a Rail Head Treatment Train was due to visit East Grinstead during the day, so the plan was rapidly changed to accomodate that!

Just a few highlights have been picked out of an excellent day. All can be found at the album link at the end of the page
