Has anyone else got any pictures that isn't work or can you folks achieve a perfect shot every time?   ;D ;D

This one did make it - but for the wrong reasons!

You turn up in plenty of time and pick your ideal spot only for someone to turn up at the very last minute and stand in front of you  >:(  [Yes, I know it is a public space!]

or there is the unintentional photobomb! [I got lucky this time!]

The third one is interesting as in reality a Voyager can't couple to an HST without a long metal pole. I'm not sure whether the brakes can be coupled.

It is amazing we've never standardise on couplings in the UK. The nearest we got was on the South Eastern (SR)  in the mid sixties when almost  everything was EPB with buckeye and standard control jumpers.

In the olden days, sometimes you didn't spot things before the film came back from the chemist...
