How I love England- http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=90689 All that's missing is a preserved King or Castle on the left hand side. Seems like this is a popular location? Joshua |

BLASHPHEMY, I SAY! Josh, get out of here before Sandy sees this. (The "West Coast Main Line" is the LMS (L&NW) line, not GWR. A "Duchess" would look good in the frame . . . ) ;) JAC |

Oh dear. I saw Oxford and assumed GWR. Geez- I was only in Euston 18 months ago to see "Princess Elizabeth" leave for Liverpool. Sorry John, Sandy, all. Joshua |

You are forgiven, my son. Say five "Hail Gresleys" as your penance and ponder a 4F on a goods train coming on the down slow . . . |

Consider it done! And I'll say a few "Hail Fowlers" too for good measure. JKB |

This location, I'm fairly sure, is the ex L&NWR Trent Valley line north of Rugby and it is beside the North Oxford canal. I took some photographs of 46229 running to Glasgow near here (on a very cold day) a few years ago. Also known as Brinklow or Blinklow I think. The GWR line mentioned is probably the line from Reading to Taunton which is alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal, or near Banbury, which is alongside the South Oxford canal. G |

Having now checked the map (which I should have done before replying the first time.....) the canal runs alongside the railway from near Brinklow to near Ansty. G |
