Stoke-on-Trent + Stafford Railway Variety - 8th November 2022

Описание: Its been a long time since I did one of these wow! This day was not supposed to happen (as I was supposed to of gone for a driving test, but sadly fell through). Therefore, the day was now free. Finding something to do landed me to Stafford for the day (with a brief stint at Stoke-on-Trent Station too).

Any rail enthusiast no matter experienced or new, will know that Stafford is one of the main spotting hubs of the UK Railway Network. The biggest reason is the amount of railway traffic (both passenger and freight). However, there are occassional days where more 'out of the ordinary' workings run and on this day, I was treated to a total of four different workings.
