I envy you professional photographers. So good.

I know, and it won't confuse anyone with you to Darthmunch either.

Thanks photons66. I must however stress that I am no professional, but I'm glad you appreciate my efforts (not being nasty mind - don't take this the wrong way).

I'm hoping to go on a railtour later this year, so these shots sure are inspirational.

Ooh, lucky you. Some of them may not be cheap, but you sure get a lot for your pennies! Thank you kindly for the comment too.

No problem at all; glad to hear you share the news with us. Hope you have a good trip with Tangmere.

Just had another look through your pictures. Pity about Cardiff Central. It used to be a symphony of Valentas now its a symphony of MTUs.
Your friends enjoyed themselves too I take it? I recognise one of them.

Oh aye? Which one then? Kiyran Burke or Nathan Bridge? Yes, they did indeed enjoy themselves.

And I do agree, First Great Western HST's haven't been the same since the MTU revolution swept away the good old days of Valentas. Saying that though, I'm not bothered about either; it will at least keep the HST going for another few years to come.

Thanks for taking another look photons66, feel free to leave a comment if you wish.

I had a look earlier rowan826, great shots. It was also a pleasure to meet you and your father at Cardiff. Hope to see you around in the near future, and keep up the good work on your end!

Excellent pictures Rowan. I especially liked the Neon HST at the end there.
