3 A4's at Grosmont for the first time since the NRM in the 90s, and more importantly in working order, I can't wait till July!

and just noticed, Green Arrow is there too, awasome...wish I could have seen that, but at 6:00am last Friday I was just up for work at 7:30

I was lucky enough to get a few photos of Bittern and Union of South Africa together.

I physically kicked myself after that. I watched Union go in to the bay platform on the right, then watched Bittern arrive, then I rushed off to Goathland to watch Union arrive, then I realised that when Bittern ran round, they were both sat either side of the platform!

Nay mind the 3 anyhow....5-6 July...4 A4s...88 days and counting

Oh and Bittern is here in York from Next Saturday till Wednesday!

York I believe.

The 4th is the only other one in the UK - Mallard!
