TBH some of your stuff is quite good, photography is a subjective thing But I think You've really sank to the bottom of the barrel here. Nobody else feels the need to go into a graveyard to phot. Sorry if you don't like what i say but it is a graveyard where people go to pay repects not where you should be photting

Thanks for your comment, as you say Photography is subjective. I have seen numerous shots of this type from far better Photographers & much more well known than me, - hence me trying it for myself. As it happens it was the first anniversary of my Fathers death so I was paying my respects also. Another chap was there paying his respects to one of his family members & he also took a shot although I haven't seen this online anywhere. Of course you are entitled to your opinion (which I respect) but I would respect it even more if you had the courage to leave your name & email address as I consider leaving comments on peoples sites anonymously as cowardly. Merry Christmas!

Another nice one mate. I was passed out on the 325s back in the 1990s when ScotRail won the cleaning and stabling contract for these sets at Corkerhill. All the Glasgow Central traction inspectors got passed out by EW&S loathable lothario Alan Moran so that we could in turn train the ScotRail shed drivers so they could take the sets through the washer and then stable them. These are (or were) nice sets to drive, my best memory of my training days on them being the moment I flew through Motherwell station at 80 mph and got a double yellow at the end of the platform.... :-O Micky

Fish Pretty sure this will be 6X76 Mossend - Warrington running VAR MWO this week. I'm assuming your shot is around 22:00? Working in background is 6E93 Mossend - Selby. If it is around 21:00, then working is 6M66 Mossend - Warrington & background working is 4M67 Mossend - Trafford Park, but why would they let a 6 out in front of a 4, so I'm pretty sure it is the former set of workings (6X76 & 6E93).
