55009 & 57012 at Wigan North Western - 30th March 2023
The train was running about 20 minutes early as it passed Wigan and typically clashed with 1 of the only Northern trains that run from Manchester to Cumbria through Wigan that was 2 early too. Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave I think is an amusing comparison for this shot. Mr Nick Park Id happily take a few million for this shot,,,
I did catch the magnificent Deltic heading north at Bamfurlong a link to that video can be found below.
