First leg of my railway trip, Craven Arms to Crewe. Traveling along the Welsh Marches must be one of the most scenic routes in the country. I wasn’t expecting to get a 67 hauled service but after the chaos of the last couple of days I was just glad there was a train for me to get on!

Ah, the class 153. A box on wheels, uncomfortable, ugly yet for some reason I absolutely love them. No idea why. This isn’t a cry for help….honestly…..

Good to get out with the telescope again. Bode’s galaxy, Blue Oyster Nebula, Cigar Galaxy and Owl Nebula all showing well even though my pictures don’t do them justice.
Slightly regretting the late night now though….

Booked my next railway trip - a journey from Aberdeen to Penzance. 13+ hours on Britains longest direct train route.
Thought I’d better get in there before it’s axed later on in May….

Went for a walk to get out and try some new lenses, got some nice scenery and some nice pics of Stokesay Castle but the highlight was definitely walking home through the fields to find a Class 37 loco (well two of them) at a stop signal. Shame the trees were in the way!
