70013 Oliver Cromwell Cossington 090509

An uninspiring view of Cromwell on the Midland Mainline at Cossington. Many thanks to the gentleman in the hi-viz who stood at the crossing 100yds in front of 20 photographers who had the privilege of including this important man in their shots. Well worth the cost in fuel, time and effort for most of them.

Thanks

He wasn't working - too old! -and he left as soon as the train had gone. The consensus view on the bridge was that he had compromised their shots. He was a tad thoughtless.

Good Video. I Seen That At Barrow.

Mate,That Bloke Was Ruining Anybody Shots. He Can Stand There All He Likes. He Might Be A Network Rail Man? Who Knows? At The End Of The Day Be Thankfull That You Have Seen A Brit On The Mainline.

Thanks, but not one of my best I think.

There is little chance of an ordinary photographer having such a pass on the mainline!

Not disputing the gent had the right to be there - he was standing on the public crossing. My point is he was wearing hi-viz unnecessarily and thereby damaging 20 peoples' shots. He was either arrogant in regarding his requirements as more important than the other 20, or merely inconsiderate. Your remarks on the attitude of l/side passholders seem more illustrative of your own attitudes that that of others.

The gent in the hi-viz has as much right to be there as you have on the road bridge. At the gcr would you move out of the way for someone without a lineside pass?,i doubt it .Time to put and shut up.
