| Going on holiday in Englandshire, to visit some Yorkshire preservation railways. It started with a visit to Durham after seeing Michael Portillos railway journey. For years I had travelled by train going south and passing Durham and alway wanted to visit the cathedral, so took the opportunity this year (2011) to do a bit of a tour, starting at Durham, then to Beamish, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire Moors & the National Railway museum. Each venue worth a visit at least once or more. The photos that follow are from this holiday. Even the wife enjoyed the trip. |
