43081 leads an HST set in to Leicester, note the out of livery drivers door

Under a daylight moon, 82126 leads 1B29 08:50 New St-Euston formed by the Pretendolino set at Tile Hill. This wasn;t the angle I wanted, but it seems building work is taking place in the field by the former loop, and there is plenty of security staff guarding the site. This was also to be the only outing for the set for the whole day

67013 leads one of the refurbished sets of WSMR mk3 carriages on 1P03 at Tile Hill, seen from the station

170632 works 1V26 11:49 New St-Hereford service at Northfield

43357 was the lead powercar on 1V50 -Plymouth which was running about 40 minutes late at Northfield

A new location that I've wanted to try, my hand was forced by missing a connection to Atherstone at Tamworth

A Virgin Voyager heads south near Tamworth, from a different vantage point at the same place

92034 worked 6O60 'silver bullets' along the slow line

86501 makes a bid to appear on airliners.net with this fresh air intermodal working

After panicking about getting both 86s together, 86702 had been switched to the slow lines too, and is seen kicking up the snow near Atherstone

150017 fights through the snow at Blakedown after a brief snow shower

To come all this way and get bowled by the steam, despite the loco under full power was more than disappointing

Two sheds are better than one. At Nottingham we see 6E41 paused by a signal check and proving that two Class 66s are needed to do the job of one Class 60. And don't forget, this is the empty tanks too!

Anyone for rocking horse poo? Here we see CrossCountry service 1V50 09:00 Leeds-Exeter St Davids, on a booked diversion at Leicester, with newly branded 'East Coast' powercar 43306 at the head of the train. Definately continues the years theme for strange workings already.
