This image takes us to Whilton Locks again and a view from the locks looking back at the cottages on the towpath side of the grand union canal. There seems to be no shortage of water as it cascades over the lock gates.

Virgin Trains at Buckby Locks

Colin — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:18:09 +0000

A break from the Ashby Canal today and a brief return to the Grand Union Canal. The Buckby flight of locks to be precise, but staying with the bridge theme. The weather was perfect today and I was fortunate enough to be able to capture an image of two Virgin trains closing head on whilst a narrowboat was entering the lock.
