Congratulations on the magnificent picture of the steam train leaving Clayton tunnel (February 11).

I hope readers appreciate this could be one of the last photo opportunities to take such a picture in this location because, if One2One manages to obtain planning permission, there will be a mobile phone mast sited in the cutting.

This would place the mast in the foreground of your picture.

Maybe there is a need for a mast but should it be placed in front of such a unique faade, spoiling the subject for the many artists and photographers who come to paint and photograph the tunnel?
