The hole where the tanks were is filled in
Tangmere at Norwich Station, Norwich, Norfolk - 25th May 2013
We'd heard a "word on the street" at the Burston Crown that a steam train was coming through Diss, so wandered down to the station only to find it had been through two hours before. Instead, we headed off to Wroxham via Norwich for a birthday weekend, only to find that we were passing Norwich station at the time the very same train was due to head off on its return journey, so we spend half an hour watching the proceedings before continuing on to Wroxham. Train spot! The train in question is Battle of Britain class 34067 Tangmere, one of 110 "Light Pacifics" built between 1945 and 1950, many of which were named after things to do with the RAF, including this one, named after the airfield in Sussex. Before that, the destruction and rebuild of the Shell petrol station next to the office in Southwark continues.

The digger scrapes earth around
A skip is filled up with stuff out of the shop
The old tank hole is fully filled in
A skip is full of old fuel pipes
A Mark 1 coach in maroon moves up the platform
Isobel, Harry and Fred on the platform
34067 Tangmere and its RAF crest
Tangmere is hauling the Fenman service
Isobel shows Fred the footplate
Steam and smoke swirls around
More coal is loaded
The futuristic lines of Tangmere
Fred is unimpressed with the noise
Tangmere's RAF crest
The driver goes to tell people off
An old dude is reprimanded for trespassing
Another vintage - Class 90 90009 Diamond Jubilee
Tangmere and Class 90 90009 Diamond Jubilee
Isobel swings Fred around
Isobel picks Harry up for a look
Tangmere smokes the place up
Train spotters wait on the opposite platform
A guard looks out of the carriage
Tangmere and The Fenman are under way
The rake of Mark 1 coaches heads off
More mundane DMU units wait at Norwich
Spotters leave the station
