2. Chester station-09.06.22

After a busy day's shopping, my wife had to go back to the hotel and lay down! I took the opportunity to go to the station for an hour or so. Now I knew from my previous visit to Chester station that it is not very 'enthusiast friendly' with spotters and photographers having to seek permission from the station supervisor who then has to issue some sort of permit. To get around this ridiculous situation I simply bought a modern-day platform ticket, a return ticket to Bache that I did not use for travel but merely permitting me to pass in and out through the barrier. Something that I did not spot until I came to 'process' the images is that all those photographed on this summer's afternoon was that they all were due for imminent replacement with the railway face of Chester about to look very different.
