Durham with Duke of Gloucester

23 April 2005

Stephen's delayed birthday train trip to Durham was with Steam Dreams


Our diesel locomotive Dionysus took us from Finsbury Park to York. Here at York, a crowd of people waits for the diesel to be taken off and replaced with our steam locomotive to take us on to Durham


More crowds watch 71000 Duke of Gloucester reverse onto the head of the train


At Durham, after some lunch we visited the Cathedral. Here a view north, with the castle sitting in the middle of the peninsula created by a loop of the River Wear


From the top of the tower, one of the weirs on the Wear


Looking east across the city


Lucy in the Cloisters


A GNER train crosses the viaduct heading north


Lucy outside the cathedral


The cathedral towering over the river


Jesus Mill and weir, and Prebends Bridge


Back at Durham station, and Duke of Gloucester brings our train from Newcastle


Duke at York, waiting to be taken off and replaced with a diesel for the run back to Finsbury Park


Duke of Gloucester after being removed from our train waits at another platform
