BLS "Crompton Weekend", 7th to 9th March 2020
Three days of trips behind various Class 33 "Cromptons" and a Class 47, two enhanced positioning moves either side of the main "Devonian Crompton" tour on Sunday 8th March 2020. Run in conjunction with West Coast Railways, Network Rail and 71A Locomotive Group, the tours were raising funds for the Help for Heroes Charity and also for Tommy's. All three days were excellent though I wasn't able to do the full trip on any of them due to logistics - it also turned out to be my last efforts for a while due to the Covid-19 outbreak curtailing activities. Please note - all photos taken from ground positions are with permission and under supervision. As usual, a few photos to start, more to be added as time permits!
