South Yorkshire Trip 27-28/12/13.

After the Christmas period myself and Rob Hewison ventured up to South Yorkshire to see what was about. Main objective being the new Biomass wagons that were running (53) and to get the new electrification train/wagons at High Marnham. Popped into Great Heck plasmor sidings to see the extant TTA still there and also picked up a few grounded vans along the way. All objectives achieved making it a good trip out.
