Apologies for the absence of a Brigg Blog update yesterday, which was due to 'Mrs F' and myself going on a steam train-hauled excursion to London, setting off early in the morning.
While waiting on the platform at Barnetby we met Brigg's Adrian Broome, awaiting a service train to go rambling in Sheffield.
On our steam-hauled train were Derek Bradley, of Bradley Insurance, Brigg, and his wife Judith, plus Brigg Town Cricket Club secretary Lee Fielden and his wife Fiona (pictured here with the loco).
The full story of the train excursion, with pictures, will appear in tomorrow's Scunthorpe Telegraph, as long as I get to work this afternoon to pen the copy and sort the images.
I wonder how the Irish train enthusiasts react to the 'Oliver Cromwell' engine.
ReplyDeleteOliver Cromwell, the person, not the loco, was responsible for the Irish Campaign in the mid 1600's were the Irish was severely perscecuted. He is infamously remembered in Southern Ireland.
please excuse the 'were & was' bit - above..me brain wasn't wirking properly.
