Notes

Filming for Ade Edmondson's 'The Dales' television programme. A camera was located above the bufferbeam and wiring along the side of 48151 leading to the support coach.
For the next shot we pressed on to Dent overbridge,a rare chance to get this as any sun is overhead on the usual timings. The exhaust was a nice bonus as they usually take it easy here for the foot crossing. 48151 on 31/8/2011 Copyright David Price No unauthorised useSlow moving 8F 5
