33057 Seagull & 33026 Seafire pass through Berwick station on 20 April 1996 with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z33 15:06 Eastbourne to Bristol Temple Meads 'Southern Coasterman' railtour. This is of course not the town of Berwick on the Scottish border, but the small Sussex village on the line between Eastbourne and Lewes. This was one of those occasions when there is a limited gap in which to take the photo, and no certain way to judge if it is large enough before the train arrives. The train was travelling at considerable speed, and while I have managed to get it clear of the signal, it is still too near the edge of the frame for my liking. Unfortunately the rollfilm version of this is hopeless, with 33057 disappearing off the edge of the picture! Class 71 E5001 also featured on the tour. |
