OY! when did it sunshine?
Froze my bollards of at Bury, the platforms were heaving! Elbows were the order of the day.
Hope it's a bit quieter next week.
Hi Andy!Was thinking the same thing, it's been bloody miserable here
Yes, heard it was absolutely chaos in Bury so didn't even try, expect Rammy was the same...
Am going to try a couple of places near us next week if you fancy a trip
Hi Andy!
I was thinking of 'The Gap' at Burrs, but if you know somewhere better.......
.....can you see it from your house? If I remember right, your coffee was good!
No unfortunately not, as they've got rid of the railway tracks behind us, which is a real shame.
Was thinking Ewood Bridge as you can get them climbing up put of Orwell vale - there are a couple of places around there you can get to .
Might have a walk back up River Irwell towards Motorway bridge and catch it climbing up there as well...
Is that near Animal Farm or is it the Road To Wigan Pier?
Bugger off - Bloody auto-correct you know I meant Irwell Vale
Nice shot Dave, but why has the Flying Scotsman been painted in a drab matt black colour, I'm sure it was a lovely high gloss green in it's heyday.

Can we all make Sunday morning?
What's the parking like there?

Yep - no idea about parking - never been there.

No parking on main road, but a quick google map shows on street at the village just over the river, Bridge Street.

Sounds good!Another thing to remember, the train pulls forward from Irwell Vale to Rawtenstall and then pulls backwards from Rawtenstall to Bury (if that makes sense) - so can get shots around Irwell Vale / Ewood Bridge as it's on it's way to Rawtenstall and then move to next area for it's next journey from Irwell Vale to Rawtenstall as plenty of time, if wished...
Sounds good!
I meant the other end of Irwell Vale Road where it comes out on the A6257 at Ewood Bridge.
Yep! exactly where I meant!On the map - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.6835191,-2.309588,18.03z
It's Blackburn Road, the B6527 and you can see where it crosses the train track - there's plenty of room to stop on the main road, were are also a couple of areas just off the road if wished...
You can also go up Hardsough lane as enter option...
Think you're on about Irwell Vale - which could be packed out.
How long will it be there?Brilliant, cant wait for it to come to NYMR for a week in March. Be taking a day off work at least for that.
A week.How long will it be there?
