photo image dt

Taken by me in Sheffield the image is a British Rail Class 221 SuperVoyager. The train is pulling in from the north of the station through the main tunnels into platform 6. From the LED sign at the front of the train its time tabled to go to Bristol Temple Meads. It was taken on a mild day before winter set in and everything became dull and boring.
