I think you need that scanner a.s.a.p. The flickr local Leeds railway group would sure look good with some of your shots in BigN

I had to look at it a while before I sussed it was the hotel, I was thinking what stood there before, then I realised it's the hotel itself. Yes it's non to grand is it?

The big works like Doncaster and Crewe were a different story though because by this time they were all private concerns and the staff pass didn't buy you the same privaliges lol
