WC on the Commercial |
| Description: |
Now this is something you don't see everyday. The WC shoved a cut of cars over the diamond and down the Commercials main because there were too many cars to fit in the yard. This is probably the first time in at least 10 years that the WC has gone on this part of the line. |

Late Night Encounter |
| Description: |
After being a college for the past few hours working on a paper, I decided to see if there was anything at New Brighton. I saw some light up numberboards a decided to take a better look. Idling away at midnight I found none other then BCOL waiting for a crew. |

On the move again |
| Description: |
Train L517 (or could have been L506 by now) gets moving again after getting a new crew at Cardigan Jct. If you look at the left side of the picture, you will see some distortion. That's due to the camera, and why it has to be sent in again to Canon for repairs, thankfully Canon is paying for it. |
