Went into Manchester yesterday to watch a steam train climbing the bank between Manchester Victoria and Miles Platting. Amazing sound as the Stanier Jubilee tugged its load up the hill. I could hear that something was going on before I could even see it in the distance…
…And that thing I remember from childhood of a column of smoke and steam momentarily getting snuffed out, then reappearing on the other side of the bridge. Then I walked back to Ashton under Lyne for the bus…
