Poole Gallery January - June 2008
Welcome to the Poole Gallery for the first 6 months of 2008
Saturday March 1st 2008 - Stobart Sand
Colin #015 (444015) ;) approaches Poole with a Weymouth - Waterloo service. This was one of the first shots I have taken using my new Canon EF90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens. Subsequently all the images taken on this day were with the 300mm "Teggin" lens
47802 "Pride of Cumbria" rounds the bend at Poole with the 1Z86 Watford - Weymouth "Thomas Hardy Circular".
The train bar one coach was all in Stobart Rail livery.
The last coach was a mark 2 air con in the short lived Blue Pullman colours. Apart from that and two Mark 1 buffets the rest of the coaches were Mark 3.
47712 "Pride of Carlisle" brings up the rear of the train. This lead the train out of Weymouth on its return journey via Yeovil. This loco was one of the 12 push pull 47/7s that were used in the 1980's between Glasgow & Edinburgh. It bore the name Lady Diana Spencer. I think there should be another locomotive named after her.

Monday January 21st - Intermodal Sand!
66501 Japan 2001 passes under the signal gantry at Poole with the 6M42 Wool - Neasdon loaded sand. This is a rare working for a loco thats in the Intermodal pool and not the Heavy Haul pool.
Monday January 7th - Blustery Bay
Hopefully not having Bird Flu this Swan was photographed at Holes Bay whilst on my way to Creekmoor Viaduct to photograph the Wool Sand.
The first Wool - Neasdon sand of the year bought 66551. Its seen crossing the causeway at Holes Bay.
With Beacon Hill in the background 66551 approaches Creekmoor viaduct.
Another shot of 444018 from a bridge, this time from the Holes Bay road Bridge as it nears Poole with a Weymouth - Waterloo service.
Sunday January 6th - Lazy & Cloudy Afternoon
For some strange reason 444018 does not run into the sidings at Poole but runs wrong line and terminates and then the driver changes end. This has just arrived with a Waterloo - Poole service.
444018 on the up main.
With 444018 still on the up main (now with the driver in the other cab) 220015 slides into the carriage sidings after running ECS from Bournemouth. The Voyager has XC branding on it.
220011 passes Sunday shoppers waiting at the High Street level crossing. On Sundays the Voyagers are diagrammed to run ECS to Poole for out-berthing and cleaning. This Voyager has no branding what so ever on it.
