brakedwell I've been looking around for some fresh images of the Meteor NF 14 that was denied you - alas there are very few. I can only offer you this lovely photograph of WS848 which was posted on this thread a few years ago. It was taken on 17th August 1960 over the Berney Arms which is by the River Yare, not far from Great Yarmouth. Alas the pub has been closed for many years now. There is a railway halt not too far away with a couple of services a day - it is a 'Request Stop'. I don't know what would have happened if you had stuck your arm out to stop the train in the video ! Incidentally in part due to Covid, Berney Arms was the least used Railway Station in Britain for 2019-20 with 42 passengers. I have happy memories of taking the train there with my wife years ago where we then avoided the cows and squelched our way to the pub. It must have been Autumn because flocks of Yellow Wagtails were migrating over the marshes.
