North Yorkshire Moors Class 31s 31466 and 31128 paired up at Goathland on Friday, during the railway's annual diesel gala.

Colas Grids 56113 and 56094 making their way through Beeston this afternoon, returning to Colwick after a weekend at the Severn Valley Railway diesel Gala.

Home Welcome to ‘The Glory Days of Electrics’, a digital exhibiton all about the electric traction in use on the British Rail network from the 1980s to the early 2000s. This era saw the iconic British Rai...

I'm here briefly to plug my university photography project 'The Glory Days of Electrics' which released last week.
Lots of effort went in to the photography, writing and design, and I have done my best to include as many locomotives and multiple units as possible.

313201, then the pride of the Southern Coastway and Brighton Lovers Walk, stands at Lewes on a sunny day back in June 2022

Interestingly, back to back is actually prototypical for this pair, as 43184 and 43366 worked driver training runs out of Leeds Neville Hill back to back in the early part of 2023.

Brand new Hornby 43184 and 43366 have arrived on shed today. 43184 ‘Laira Diesel Depot’ in its InterCity executive repaint and 43366 ‘HST 40’ in standard XC house colours.

As always the foot crossing at the Nunnery Junction end made for some more interesting photos especially when 121033, still with 'santa special' plates, made an appearance to lock the gates up.

Ex-EMR pair 43073 'Neville Hill HST Depot 42 Years' & 43082 'RAILWAY children - Fighting for street children' running with the Ex-LNER trailers at the Colne Valley yesterday, during the end of year HST running day.
Fantastic as always to round out the year with a HST bash.

Catch PEPs not feelings

Tonight something very special in Euston after a full day of GWR diversions, GWRs Night Riviera to Penzance alongside the Caledonian Sleeper to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Plenty of motive power on show as a result; the standard CS 92s, the visiting GWR 57s as well as an Intercity 90.

Grid 👍

Ye but it got refunded.

Today's particularly interesting move through Lincoln 975025 'Caroline' and 37418 on 2Z04 from Peterborough to York, interesting as it was booked in error as a Ordinary Passenger working

These long charter trains through Platform 3 continue to be quite a challenging shot, not helped by the continued bad weather when these trains are due.

After a little break I'm back with another Charter through Lincoln.
57313 'Scarborough Castle' and 57601 'Windsor Castle' topping and tailing today's Northern Belle 'The Spirit of Travel Lunch' from Leeds to Cleethorpes.

Yesterday's 1Q50 through Lincoln Central.
After a few runs with the Class 37s it's back to HST power cars, with Colas Orange, Black and Yellow livery 43277 & 43257 looking very smart topping and tailing the Network Rail Mk1/Mk2 test rake.

Not via London wil never be the same again.
