Level crossings may well be the one thing absent from my Railway Run but I'll be out on the lookout for any and be sure there'll be plenty of photos...
I'll be looking out for footbridges too...
One nice thing about running an ultramarathon is there's always loads of time for photography and observing things

Re: One for the train buffs.
Small correction required...this is a public road, but one rarely travelled by anyone other the residents of the nearby Guyzance hamlet. and it does offer a glimpse of the viaduct through the gate... and you can make out the East Coast Mainline trains with the naked eye as well as zooming in with the camera NeilNewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑23 Mar 2024, 18:08 In recent days the Falcon camera has visited the hidden viaducts, which cant be seen from any public road,

No I had already done the close up bit at the viaduct the other day so no need to go "plodging through the clarts" today.

Re: One for the train buffs.
Simply to experiment with the "Table Facility" when posting on the FCF
The buttons "table, tr, td on the normal posting screen are used.
Table defines the table, tr is table row and td is I presume "table detail" ie an individual cell in a table. Picture refs are nested in the td brackets, td brackets are nested in the tr brackets, and all are enclosed in the "table" brackets. Sounds a bit of a meal but its logical.
If you click quote on my post you can see the syntax I have used to produce the following table of 6 images from this thread.

Re: One for the train buffs.
I must say Neil, that's a great use of the table facility I always like a good viaduct!

Re: One for the train buffs.And now the bus buffs
Borrowed this from the Birmingham History forum, it's about an hour long but a pretty comprehensive look at BMMO.

Re: One for the train buffs.
Not so sure that would be the winner!! A couple more contenders for the ugly bus ball:
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!
