Stephen,

How do you get to find out the steam trains that are passing through Harringay from Kings Cross. Is there a timetable on a specific website?

Many thanks

Glynn

Not sure how Stephen finds out, but this might help.

Wonderful atmospheric shots, Stephen! - thanks for sharing.  4464 has been masquerading as 4492 "Dominion of New Zealand" for the past year, but it's great to see her back once again in her true original LNER identity as "Bittern".  I have many happy memories of this iconic locomotive stretching back to the mid-1960s.

Many thanks for the link ( I am resisting the urge to call it the Silver Link!). You and I must be of a similar vintage as I recall many happy days at York and Doncaster stations but in the early 60s. Such innocent pleasures!

Cheers

Stephen
