Shots Around London
Author: dwatry

Some random shots from the last few weeks of roaming around London.
1.  LMS "Black Five" 4-6-0 Lancashire Fusilier on an excursion at Acton Central. 
2.  What normally runs through Acton Central - London Overground EMU sets.
3.  London Overground DMU set on a Gospel Oak-Barking working at Junction Road Junction.  This line is due to be electrified soon.

Thanks for the IDs.  I've got to get the British version of "Diesel Spotters Guide"!
