| Part two of my trip to photograph some of the disappearing Train Operating Companies (see also the Chesterfield collection). The intention at Doncaster was to get some shots of the GNER liveried HSTs and IC225s (Class 91s).
The views from the car park overlooking the station and works were great, although we were swiftly, but politely, asked not to photograph there by a friendly security guard - apparently due to the nearby prison being visible. A mixed bag of units, 91s, HSTs, 66s, 67s and a 60 were seen at the station. |
