Entering Bingley station on the Midland Railway's Aire Valley line Stanier 5XP Jubilee 4-6-0 45699 Galatea gives a good impression of a 1967 express, a time when the real 45562 Alberta used to pass this way. Shame about the wires...

This is the returning Carlisle-York Waverley railtour at 19.41 running 1 minute early and she was really cracking along.

The timetable had the loco looped at Diggle for 20 minutes so we expected the driver to be shutting off by this point but the train was actually held at Stalybridge instead. It was running 30 minutes late so the Diggle stop was dropped and she was really working hard through here.

The backdrop is the W.H. Shaw Pallet (formerly Dobcross Loom) Works, reputedly one of the largest factories of its type before its closure in 2006. Dating from 1860 it was being demolished at the time of my visit.
