Rare Grid Shot
A very rare shot of a Class 56 in daylight on the Up Walsall line. This working usual runs under the cover of night but due to earlier problems it was retimed and ran as the 13:00 Bletchley to Birch Coppice on Friday 21st December 2007. 56302 Wilson Walshe powers across the foot crossing at Streetly Gate heading for Birch Coppice.

Yes, I would of liked to of seen that at Bescot heading for Birch Coppice cos I have only ever seen it heading south as you say due to the normal early hour passing, but I was at work. A nice rare shot that is mate.
Pretty unusual to see it come through on the up with the return working, unless you're lurking on the 'Park at around 0430... !
It has returned a couple of times running late at around 0830, but never in the early afternoon as here.
Yeah good work by the photographer to drop everything and catch it, well done!
