Back to Rolleston for yesterday’s lunchtime oil empties from
Kingsbury to Humber refinery. Class 60 No. 60039 Dove Holes was in charge this
time. The moments waiting for the train - just listening to bird song and the breeze
rustling the leaves on the trees whilst looking out for warblers and raptors - has
become quite an important part of the experience.
Amazingly, I also still get a bit of a buzz when any locomotive-hauled
train first pulls into view. At least no one told me to “Fall off” my bike this
time, as happened last time out, after I had pulled onto the verge to allow him
to pass me in a narrow lane. I thought I was doing him a favour. Perhaps he
took it as indicative of my irritation at having him right behind me. White van
man rushing to judgement - say no more.
