Good shot from Saltford. I have added some shots from Sydney Gardens, Bath and near Dr Day's Junction.

The silver EWS Class 67 was being towed a few minutes later about 6.02 in Bath - with a very pronounced flat tyre. Wasn't able to photograph this when it passed through Bath. Did any one else hear the noise it made?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Mike, what was the vantage point for the shots crossing the Feeder canal near North Somerset Junction? http://michael527.fotopic.net/p42608921.html

A particularly nice picture

I'm sure it wasn't there when I used to photograph trains in Bristol (c. 1974)

St. Philips Causeway.

Thanks Andy, I didn't notice the name when I cycled over there on Sat. Had wondered about the view from a bridge further down the line. I think that access on foot isn't encouraged, but there was a twisted and backwards bent sign further down the road at the Barton Hill end.

I liked the shot from Saltford - was it near Pixash Lane? Thanks for identifying the causeway.
