Sheds and apartments

            It's bucketing down in central Manchester (quel surprise) as DB Cargo Shed 66092 wheels the well-loaded 9.15am Trafford Park - Southampton Docks containers (4O21) towards Piccadilly Station.

Manchester city centre has been something of a giant building site for the last few years with high-rise apartment blocks springing up all over the place, and particularly so along this stretch of line up to and beyond Deansgate. 

Given the route is operating close to capacity, for a rail enthusiast with plenty of cash to spare you might do a lot worse than seeking out one of the higher-floor options, trackside facing of course. I can see it now - tripod and camera permanently set up, patiently waiting for the atmospheric half-light and glistening street lamps reflecting off the wet ground, uber-eats on speed dial.......
