I can't compete with Sapperton Tunnel's excellent photos.

However I spent an enjoyable half hour at Kemble station the other night.

Came across this sign connected with the redoubling - shame the proof reader had a day off.

..and as darkness fell an excuse to use my new filter...

Loving that second photo. Nice filter.  ;D

Looks like the sort of thing used by 'Top of the Pops' vision mixers back in the day. Only thing missing from the photo is a pop band riding high in the hit parade.  ;)

As for the first picture.... 'Gloucesrer'?  ::)

Agree with you there BNM ...you could set up a dance troupe called Justin's Jerkers rather than Pan's People..... :o :o

Probably second only to Nailsea & Backwell, Kemble is my next favourite station. Melksham is a noble third, obviously.  ;)

Taunton is a non-starter, so far as I'm concerned - as readers of this forum will probably have gathered by now.  :P

Just for you Chris - the Kemble ghost train...

What a couple of fantastic photos, bobm. They are far, far better than mine. The 'Ghost Train' taken from the footbridge is incredible. The windows in the end screen are incredibly sharp. That was not an easy shot to do - the floorboards on the footbridge flex when you walk over them for a start, so I presume that you did not use a tripod, but rested the camera on the handrailing.

This is actually one of the best shots I have ever seen taken from the footbridge and just oozes atmosphere of the station settling back down again after the interruption from a train that dared to call.

Going back 50 years or more we used to bike to Kemble Station and cause a bit of mayhem. It was easy to climb onto the roof from the footbridge and I shall never forget the look on the driver's face of a Hymek hauled Swindon to Gloucester train as he looked around from the water tower to see 4 lads sitting on the edge of the roof above those windows!!
   

We will agree to disagree on who has the best photos ST!

You are right though - I did use the footbridge as a rest rather than a tripod - which I try to avoid using on railway property for obvious reasons.

It is the first time I have taken a photo in that style - and part of the credit must go to bignosemac who put the idea in my head.

The most remarkable thing about the photo is that it features a train I had just got off!  A bit of a rush to the footbridge to be in place for its departure.   ;D

Why, thank-you, Sir!

My only recent long exposure night shot at a station wasn't as good as bobm's though. Still, not bad for a digital compact. Again with the camera resting on a footbridge:

Definitely not Taunton.  :P ::) ;D
