WATER ORTON  20th January 2009

Another set of pictures taken on a really nice day. David and I arrived at about 8 am and stayed till 2 pm. A really nice 'one of our best ' days. It was nice to see the Class 97's in the yellow livery. Of course these were originally 37's. We were both using new cameras, Sony Cybershot  DSC H10. Brilliant camera for £165. Very easy to get to from the M6 motorway. For numbers the best place is on the station platform. For photography one can use the platform or a footbridge to the east, the station entrance road bridge and a foot crossing a few hundred yards to the east but here you will not see all the trains. You will usually find a number of enthusiasts here so there is always someone to chat with. Nearby is a Tesco Extra, a chip shop and a take away. There is a toilet in the free car park.
