| Remarks & Notes |
| A long exposure squeezes the last of the light at Oxenhope Station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. National Railway Museum-owned "King Arthur" Class no. 30777 Sir Lamiel, in use on a short stay on the Heritage line, arrives with the last trainof the day. In the days when steam was still operating on British Railways, the chances of seeing this loco anywhere near this location would be about ten million to one! In other words, there was no chance at all. Moving preserved locos around the country now gives us all a chance to see different types in action in different places, which we couldn't necessarily see nearly fifty years ago. |
