Around York and Harrogate
3rd June 2006

York and it's environs probably counts among the most frequently visited areas to photograph trains. It's still very busy with freight although unfortunately, diesel-hauled passenger services (with the exception of specials) are a thing of the past.
I shall no doubt still be taking photos around York for the foreseeable future, as indeed I will on the Harrogate line on which I've only really scratched the surface.
