I have always found it interesting to see what is happening at possesions

All in all (left some coments on it) very nice shots there Mr. Sprog :P

Ta very much! Its appreciated.

Yeah, we stayed there for half an hour or so watching the work, but it was incredably cold and we where on my dads bike, so we didnt hang around any longer than that!

Bridgewater Nuclear Loading Point. Set back from the line just north of Bridgewater station. It is used to transfer nuclear waste flasks (from the Hinkley point A & B powerstations) from Road to Rail and vice/versa.

I beleive a train with 2x 37x or 2x 20s or mixed :P runs down there from Crewe and back in the eveing each Thursday!

Nice photos and the night shots are excellent.
Did you use the night scene setting for the night shots for the 'Barry Bash' or was it manual.

Manual mode on all my night shots

It was the first time ive properly used it for night shots and after reading my Finepix's maunal through throughly i felt confident enough to use it.

I used 'Night Mode' on my 'Bristol Parkway by Night' collection, and most of them came out cr*p! TBH , (but not too bad considering i didnt bring my tripod that evening and it wa incredably cold!)

I commute to work (in Bristol) every weekday (except today, day off 8) ) and i end up arriving at Parkway for my train home to yate at about 5.30/6ish. I have to wait approx. 40mins for my train, so tomorrow im gonna take my tripod with me and then after work kill some time at Parkway doing some night shooting. The other factor being that the MML HST stops at Parkway at about 6.30, so i should get some cracking stills and a even better vid of it . (saw it last night (43072&043), but had no camera so i videod it with my phone) :P

Also, 43030 (:cheers is on Padd - Swansea diagrams ATM (currently on the Country end) and i see her most evenings so ill see if i can get a double wammey and phot her aswell

Ill post on here when ive uploaded the shots from tomorrow!

Ta for the comments everyone
