First trip to Derby in 2017

I made my first trip to Derby station this year (though only just over a month since the last visit to be honest). Despite the penetrating cold and murk i took some decent photographs. There were a couple of BR era locomotives in the sidings, an Arriva Trains Wales DMU rather out of its usual territory (been for overhaul i think) and an appearance by the "flying banana" New Measurement Train.

I was able to get a photo of this flanked by the 2 BR diesels (see below). A definite "money shot" photograph, i posted it on twitter and had more likes for it than i usually get for everything i post in a month! You can see all of my photographs here.
