I don't normally do these but this looks like the view from the rear of a train going up the bank towards Amersham with the Chesham branch on the left. Looks like the driver left his lunch when he changed ends! Is it a Class 20 cab?

North of Moor Park where the Watford branch joins the mainline?

Likewise, but isn't it going the opposite way - i.e. Chesham branch on the left, going southbound ex-Amersham towards Chalfont?

I agree with others, Class 20 cab on rear of a train travelling northbound towards Amersham with Chesham branch on Left, probably with Sarah Siddons at front of train.

Got it now. From the rear cab (of a class 20) heading north to Amersham looking south. Track immediately on the left is the SB ex-Amersham. The Chesham branch can just be seen curving away in the distance. The footbridge in the distance is MR109A.

Plenty correct: Between Chalfont and Latimer and Amersham. The author of the picture wishes to remain anonymous.

In terms of specifics, it is a Class 20 cab, but I don't know whether it is at the rear of the train or running wrong-line. Nor did the person who sent me the photograph say whether Sarah Siddons was on the other end or not.

I think that this is my colleagues one. Have you had it a while Chris?
If it is, then this was a Sarah Siddons special for someone who was retiring from LU. Taken from the cab of the class 20 at the rear of the train on the northbound line just just north of Chalfont

Yes, I have had this photo for a long time (at least since March 2008).
