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
