| A gallery featuring some photo's taken on a trip to North Wales in August 1995. I say North Wales, but for the sake of completeness that includes Crewe to Chester. The majority of the Regional Railways services are worked by Class 37 with the help of the odd Class 31. The Inter City services to and from London are worked by a mix of Class 47 and HST. Further variety is provided by the ballast workings serving Penmaenmawr Quarry.
These few days in 1995 still rank as one of my most enjoyable photographic trips. I hope you enjoy browsing the pics. More will be added in due course. |
