10:46 Newcastle to Liverpool Lime Street at Standedge Tunnel. 25 July 2020

This set of 3 pictures was taken on a recent visit to Marsden, Huddersfield. Whilst there I thought I would catch the train up from Slaithwaite to Marsden and walk back along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. As quite often happens with me I got distracted and headed for the Standedge Tunnel a short walk from Marsden Station. Whilst there I was trying to get a clear shot of the tunnel entrances, however I failed in this but whilst searching for a higher vantage point I took a moment to film and picture some of the trains on approach to the tunnels.

The train is the 10.46 Newcastle to Liverpool Lime Street service and is seen crossing Bridge 61 over the Huddersfield Narrow Canal on approach to the tunnels entrance. The train was passing at 12.47, the UID number was N03709, and head code 5341. The picture was taken using a Nikon d3300 SLR on the 25 July 2020. They can also be se seen full size, resolution and un-watermarked on Clickasnap via the links below each picture.

This was my first trip out camera in hand after covid lockdowns and restrictions had started to be eased in the United Kingdom.

Clicking any image should open a link in another window to a higher resolution and un-watermarked version of the picture on Clickasnap.

The following video was taken later in the day and features a number of trains exiting and entering the tunnel.
