Beautifully captured Herb.

Beautiful blue bug beetles through the countryside :~)

Unexpectedly emerging from vegetation
Superb point view, Herb

Yes, it came along at quite a speed here but as there was a long tunnel starting only a few metres away, it was much slower than it might have been. These trains, though nice, quite and fast are nowhere as good or as fast as the high-speed trains of France TGV's etc. Most of our old railway line infrastructure cannot take those high speeds as there ere too many bends and low bridges. We are trying to build new high speed lines from London to the North west but against much opposition.

Keep safe.

Very sleek!

Thank you very much for your splendid text, Herb

Nick (above) had exactly the same thoughts as me! The train looks like a large caterpillar!

You've captured it in fine detail Herb..........but it does look out of place in this environment!

Yep, I see that too, having eaten its way through the greenery. Thanks for the lookin Keith.

Take care. Herb

Nice catch Herb have not seen this train. Off to Whitby tomorrow for a few days.
Best TOZ

Glad you enjoyed this one Toz. Lucky you, managing to go to places when the sun is forecasted. Look forward to your pictures. I was in Kendal earlier this week but dull weather and family commitments there hampered any ambitious photo grabbing.

Have a great time. Herb

Good to see Transpenine have some new trains at last, it seems likely these will run on the London to Sheffield route via Leicester and Derby instead of completing the electrification although a lot of work has been done

Good to see you Peter. yes, TP has had some very old stock running on here for donkeys years. I think there are a lot of these about presently used by a few companies. Reckon you are right too about using these were electrification never happens.

Cheers, Herb

I find the livery and shape of the cab quite sinister looking - a highly poisonous snake...

Superb capture tho' Herb, well done!

Built for speed I think, unlike a snake Maggs :) Got to admit that I like this shape. Thanks for dropping by.

Herb

Good looking machine.
