Barnetby 30th June 2008

1st July 2008

Apart from a couple of hours back in the 1990's I haven't been to Barnetby for probably 20 years. Class 56's, 37's 47's and 31's galore! For photos from this bygone era go to the Eastern Escapades collection in the 1970's and 80's collection.
Things have changed a bit since then, seem to be even more trains but a lot less variety! Anyway here are some images from a few hours in the Lincolnshire sunshine...well the sun eventually popped out. Arrived 1022 departed 1454 a nice day out from Brighton, every train spot on time except my last one from St Pancras to Brighton which was 15 mins late due to being held at Metropolitan Jct to allow a queue of late running Southeastern services past.
