The Annual Worthing Snow Day

So the evening of the last day of January Thursday 31/01/2019 saw (what is usually) Worthing's one and only day of meaningful snowfall. This happened after dark so no usable photo's were possible. My new camera does have a video facility, but I'm still getting to grips with the video side of it, especially autofocus with falling snow, so nothing from there either.
The next day saw snow still laying by the lineside and I took the opportunity to try and photograph the four regular types of traction that use the West Coastway in the snow, 158's, 313's, 377 and 700's. I managed three out of four, but missed out on the 700 as the morning Bedford to Littlehampton service ran late and didn't get past Haywards Heath.
What comes next is what I did manage to photograph.
Click on any of these photos to be taken to the RailPicsGB shop where physical prints of these images may be purchased. All RailPicsGB images are also available on mugs and mousemats.
