I wondered that too but it looks a bit grubby for a GE 'Brit' . However I have been able to match the overbridge in the background and the viewpoint to Liverpool St so it could well be there. 18 hours ago, russ p said: Is the 40 the north end of York station crossing the Scarborough lines? Definitely York - you can see that distinctive hydraulic powerhouse peeking out from behind the loco. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium petethemole Posted November 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2019 I'm fairly sure 70002 is at Liverpool St., I recognised the location instantly as I used to spot from there. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted November 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2019 The shot of 70036 was taken from roughly the same spot as 70002, the inclined road up to the street overbridge. The J69 station pilot to the left is presumably 68619. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

York North end but I think heading south on the other side of the station to the Scarborough divergence. What would be in the background today would be the Unipart centre. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
