BoB's your uncle

            Interesting workings are something of a rarity on the Tyne Valley line these days, so the visit of Bulleid Battle of Britain class 34067 'Tangmere' on the 'Great Britain XVII' railtour was worth heading out for. Even more rarely the weather gods were kind with warmth and some sunshine! - I decided to head up to the foot crossing near Dilston where a reasonable uncluttered view to the south of the line was possible from behind the crossing fence.

Anyway it all worked out reasonable well with the service even running a few minutes early at this point, although that was undone north of Newcastle with a points failure at Benton Junction disrupting the progress north to Edinburgh.
