What, where, why?
That train looks mighty dirty for a new one. |

White is not a good colour for a train.
Unless it's to test the super computerised train washing machine at North Pole which is allegedly programmed for the profile of the Class 800s.

SWT▸ turn some remarkably clean looking 158s and 159s out of Salisbury deport with a significant amount of white on them. |

End of the metro line for now at Eccles. Soon to be added ..a metrolink to the Trafford Centre .Devil of a post, this ! Nice fish and chips in Morrisons but they'd sold out of Eccles cakes. If you like these currant ( not currents as on the metro !) flaky pastries I can recommend the ones in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry,(MOSI)which is well worth a visit in its own right...and its free!

Isn't there a Weatherspoons nearby as well. Went there soon after the extension was built. Early 2000s?
Very cheap beer I seem to remember some under a £1 a pint!

The Eccles Cake Shop in just up the pedestrianised bit of Church Street used to be good for Eccles Cakes. |

White is not a good colour for a train.
It is not a good colour for a van, either. I know.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Straightforward one today ... I have something of a fondness for 153s ... they provide some unexpected facilities such as just about the only trains you can now use to take an unbooked non-folding bicycle from Swindon to Chippenham ... (no clue in that comment - this picture isn't Swindon, nor Chippenham or any station between!)  |

White is almost always the cheapest paint colour (shade for the pedants) on most vehicles, also very easy to paint over with your corporate colours and makes a very good background for your sign-writing or for applying a vinyl wrap over. |

I owned a silver Landrover a few years ago and it was very, very good at hiding the dirt...black & dark blue are probably the worst for looking grubby |

For today's (Dec 3rd) picture, I'll take a guess at it being Bow Brickhill.
