D821 Greyhound passes through Stogumber station on the West Somerset Railway with the 12:00 Minehead to Bishops Lydeard service on 18 May 1997, during the line's Diesel Gala. Unusually the station building is at ground level on the opposite side of the track to the platform, behind where I am standing. The station was never particularly busy, lying as it does in a predominantly agricultural area on the edge of the Quantock Hills.

D832 Onslaught leaves Irwell Vale on the East Lancashire Railway with a Bury Bolton Street to Rawtenstall service during the line's Diesel Gala on 18 June 1995. The loco is painted in black livery with the early BR 'cycling lion' emblem below the cab window. While this livery was never carried by the class it certainly looks impressive, especially with the white bodyside stripe and wheel rims. Unfortunately, as can be seen from the dark clouds gathering in the background, the sunny start to the day didn't last, although as usual it was sunny on the drive home!
