With Newcastle's St James' Park visible in the distance, 37402 approaches Low Fell Junction with 1Q13 from Millerhill to Derby RTC. These trains normally run with a loco at either end, but the second loco failed and was removed at Inverness on the previous journey. Merged to HDR with Photomatix and processed with Photoshop.

The Angel of the North is an icon for the region in this former colliery district. Nearby towns like Birtley, Low Fell and Wrekenton have their own stories to tell.

When the Tyneside Metro opened, virtually all cross-Tyne bus services were curtailed at Gateshead Metro. This made some sense as Tyne & Wear PTE had a single zonal ticketing system and there was no re-booking on the Metro to complete the journey. However, Low Fell Coaches managed to obtain a licence for a service from south of the river to St Thomas Street in Newcastle, a side street across the Haymarket from the bus station. I can only assume that the 'authorities' (whoever they were) wouldn't allow Low Fell to use the bus station, being very much a black sheep and not playing the integrated transport game. The service didn't last long so I'm glad I snapped this AEC Reliance on layover during the brief existence of the service. Of course after 1986 this kind of thing became much more normal but at the time it was a daring departure.

Low Fell railway station operated as a busy commuter stop for nearly nine decades - but there is little trace of it today
