Rediscovering British Traction 2019–Present

Nick Sanderson grew up in Leeds with a passion for trains in his teenage years. The Leeds/Doncaster area had an abundance of varied traction in the mid- to late 1980s, with most classes regularly appearing. As ‘sprinterisation’ took over in 1989, his enthusiasm waned and, with the beginning of his business career, railways fell by the wayside. Fast forward to 2019 and a chance encounter with a Platform 5 pocketbook coupled with the purchase of a new camera, Nick’s interest was rekindled, and he began to capture freight operations around the UK.
