It's a great livery to be fair

#SundayShed The dirt makes this livery look a bit of a mess but this is #GBRF 66718 'Peter, Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill' passing Whittlesea yesterday lunchtime in charge of 4M23 Felixstowe North to Hams Hall intermodal working. #ShedWatch #Fenland 28/2/26

I like this working as you get to see pics of them all week as people are catching them all over the area, then finally get my own shots on the Saturday!

No sand train this weekend but there was the final leg of the monthly Colas Anglia test train to see. A very colourful 1Q86 March Down Refuge Siding to Derby RTC with top & tail #Swietelsky locos 37419 'Agamemnon' & 37405 pass Whittlesea. #Colas #Fenland 28/2/26

#SignalboxSaturday The monthly Anglia test train making a colourful sight at cloudy Whittlesea this lunchtime. Colas operated 1Q86 March Down Refuge Siding to Derby RTC with #Sweitelsky 37419 'Agamemnon' leading & 37405 on the rear. #Colas #Fenland 28/2/26

There's a guy i often see at Uffington who follows the 91s quite keenly, I'm sure he said about 5 or 6 months since last out

I think she was out of traffic from something like late summer until just recently i think wasn't she?

#SundayShed Following just behind the sand train at Turves yesterday, GB Railfreight 66774 'Sue Coles' passes Three Horse Shoes signalbox & approaches Burnt House Road crossing with intermodal working 4M23 Felixstowe North to Hams Hall #GBRF #ShedWatch #Fenland 21/2/26

Yes, It's only paint.. 😂😂

It's a shame they can't use that fuel without that paint job but at least she's still out running in 2026..😉👍

Isn't it just! Raining by late afternoon but at least the morning & early afternoon were pleasant enough

Due to the slow speed pulling away from the signal & past the assembled gallery at Uffington, I was able to get some bonus #SideOnSaturday shots showing off 60099 in her fine new DC Rail & Cappagh Group livery. 6M89 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings. #SaturdaySandTrain #DCR 21/2/26

#SaturdaySandTrain Part 2.. so after snapping 6M89 at Three Horse Shoes it was a 40min drive across to Uffington to catch it again. DC Rail 60099 'Ben More Assynt' pulls away from a signal check while the XC stopper in front cleared the section to Ketton. #DCR 21/2/26

A rather special #SandTrainSaturday today as recently reintroduced to traffic DC Rail 60099 'Ben More Assynt' worked a loaded train solo. 6M89 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings is seen passing Three Horse Shoes at Turves in near perfect weather. #DCR #Fenland 21/2/26

Midweek #ShedWatch. Another one from Long Buckby last week, this time #DRS 66421 'Gresty Bridge TMD' on a lightly loaded 4M07 Tilbury2 Container Terminal to #DIRFT. There was some boxes further back, a Tesco reefer is just visible..🧐

#ShedWatch GB Railfreight 🌈 66773 'Pride of GB Railfreight' passes Nortoft Lane & the warehouses at #DIRFT on Saturday while working 4L13 Hams Hall to Felixstowe North routed via the #WCML rather than Leicester/Peterborough. One sunny day, was back to rain on Sunday.. #GBRF 14/2/26

I've had one or two like that at deliveries over the years. I'm paid by the hour, you just sit there in a strop 😂

#TangoTuesday A pair Freightlimer 90s heading through Long Buckby last week on an intermodal working. Thankfully the 🍊 one was leading as the weather was less than ideal for 📸. 4M94 Felixstowe North to #DIRFT with 90010 '275 Railway Squadron (Volunteers)' & 90045. #Freightliner

#BlueMonday DC Rail's 56045 heading north to Nottingham last week as part of a three loco convoy hauled by newly reintroduced 60099. Classmate 56103 completed the trio. 0Z60 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Rectory Junction, Colwick at a rather wet Long Buckby. #DCR #GridWatch

#ElectricMonday A train load of Tesco boxes heading to the docks. DRS operated 4L48 Daventry #DRS Tesco to Tilbury2 Container Terminal is seen heading through Long Buckby last week with bi-mode locomotive 88003 'Genesis' in charge.

#MondayMorningBlues Rail Operations Group 37501 'Teesside Steelmaster' passing Kettering last week with a LNWR class 350 EMU in tow. 350377 was being moved as 5Q91 from Derby Litchurch Lane to Northampton EMD. #MML #ROG 9/2/26

The WiFi works well apparently. I've never had any success with that at all on Meridians so that would be a bonus 👍

Be sure to pop your thoughts of them on here, i had planned a short ride the other week but the MML got all gnarled up that day so i didn't bother

#SundayShed Another liner seen passing #DIRFT yesterday lunchtime. Just in front of the delayed Coatbridge working, GB Railfreight 🇺🇦 66708 heads up 4L05 Ditton O'Connor #GBRF to Felixstowe South. #ShedWatch 14/2/26

Yesterday lunchtime at Nortoft Lane, Kilsby, I finally got my final 88 for 👀 & 📸 as #DRS 88001 'Revolution' arrived in the sunshine at #DIRFT with the late running 4M27 from Coatbridge Down Refuge Siding. 14/2/26

#MML training continues with the #Aurora 810 fleet alongside those already working passenger services. This last week saw 810009 working some of the East Midlands Railway operated training runs. 3A25 Derby to Wellingborough & 3A27 Etches Park to St.Pancras both seen passing Kettering. #EMR

#SixtySunday A lovely trio passing Long Buckby in less than ideal weather conditions earlier in the week. Newly reintroduced DC Rail tug 60099 'Ben More Assynt' leading fellow #DCR locos 56045 & 56103 running as 0Z60 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Rectory Junction, Colwick.

#SignalboxSunday Two views of March East Jn box photographed last month.
Built in 1885 by the Great Eastern Railway and now grade II listed. Colas operated test train 1Q86 can be seen stabled opposite in the down refuge siding waiting to depart back to Derby. 31/1/26

This one was just a bonus when i was waiting to see 20007/20205 come through 😉

#FreightFriday A pair of close up GB Railfreight sheds on a liner last weekend. Maybe a positioning move, on Saturday #GBRF 4M23 Felixstowe North to Hams Hall was headed by 66773 with 66723 behind & had been stopped to wait the road at Uffington near Stamford. #ShedWatch 7/2/26
