London's much changed stations are difficult places to photograph these days. Kings Cross viewed from any external vantage point is a jungle of overhead wires and other furniture not conducive to photography. My philosophy then is to get what one can and York Way provides some limited opportunities. Blue Class 67 67003 was, I presume, tug of the day. The colour makes a nice contrast with the Virgin Trains East Coast Class 43 power car. TZ30_P1050039E

Kings Cross is as about as cluttered as any station these days so I decided to turn the potential obstructions to my advantage. Here, locally stabled Class 67 Thunderbird 67016 is framed by a gantry as a shot almost directly into sun creates a pleasing effect on the locomotive roof. 200_2_P1020492

It's not what you'd expect from more competent railway photographers but this view of Class 67 67016 at Kings Cross is my attempt to defy both sun and obstacles in a modern railway scene. The locomotive is a so-called Thunderbird provided to assist failed EC sets. 200_2_P1020488

This imperfect shot was really all I could get from a crowded platform 2 at Chichester as DBS Class 67 67028 led VSOE stock into the station for the British Pullman trip to Westbury and back. Understandably, many of the passengers wanted photographs at the beginning of the journey. TZ30_P1010040

In this snatched shot, DBS Class 67 67006 'Royal Sovereign' is seen leading the British Pullman on its journey from Westbury to Chichester as it takes the Botley line at Eastleigh and passes the works there. This shot has been tweaked a bit to minimise the still visible effects of shooting through the train window. TZ30_P1010079

The splendidly liveried DBS Class 67 67006 'Royal Sovereign' led the British Pullman back from Westbury and is seen here leaving Chichester with the empty VSOE stock for Stewarts Lane. TZ30_P1010087C
