60019 Bittern York Thursday 29th April 2010

Despite electrification it is always nice to see a steam train call at this magnificent station with generally lots of ordinary passengers waiting for expresses to the north and Scotland.

Unfortunately the light became duller and duller and I was forced to use ISO 640 under the roof and ISO 400 as it departed for the coast a couple of minutes later.

Interestingly I have some slides taken under the same roof of 60019s last run in BR ownership from Edinburgh to York on the 4th September 1966! [Sadly on Perutz film!]
