I've still got so many units up north to get. I've got TWO Northern Pacers: 142066 and 142084! Pathetic I know!

That's the Chiltern 172s completed and down to 3 444s.

Cleared my Nottingham Trams today (211). An attempt earlier in the day to get kettle 847 at the Bluebell Railway failed, when - despite being on the roster - it wasn't out. Hope I have better success with a new kettle at the G-WR tomorrow...

Sorry DanTrainMan185, got another two 142's yesterday for haulage, but what makes this worse is that I live in the Manchester area and still need a load of 142's because every time I do go out spotting I am always travelling afar.

Get on a Coradia up to Manchester and get going with them! Or to BRS and fly up to Newcastle where you'll find plenty of Heaton 142s about the place

Oh, and you may not want to look at the top of the list I'm making below

Recent Red Pen action for me:

19th May 2014

142030
142039
142041 (36 142s to go, most of them are still Newton Heath machines, unless some are allocated to Allerton too. Need to get the 2014 NREA, I'm still using the 2012 one!)
150111
150136
156424
156441 (59 156s to go I believe now, getting closer!)
185120
185133
185140
185142 (12 more to go, not had such good luck with 185s in ages!)
350406
390123
390138
390151 (12 more 390s to get, getting harder to find winners every time I score one)

I believe it's now 218 winners for 2014 so far, not bad going at all!

Okay, never realised I could become so competitive in scoring haulages, but it is time to get my backside out of the chair and get going

Two new ones for me today:

08879 at Didcot Railway Centre
4270 at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway

I have an annoyingly big competitive side lol, sometimes comes in handy at work at least! Need to get out there again and score some winners myself, alas I won't be getting ready for another trip for a week yet

Should probably get a few more 455s and 377s tomorrow and then later next month I'll be heading up north to make some of my first inroads into the Northern fleet.

 

[samuelmorris]

Re-spreadsheeting my unit mileages from this year so they're more coherent - wow it's laborious, sometimes I wonder why I bother

Right, April & May's harvest (I think I need to update this thing more often, these posts are huge!)

Exciting times, I'm down to my last ex-WCML 321 (321421) to red-pen and then they have them all. Having been using the GE fleet casually pretty much since their introduction, it's highly possible I have them all already, but I'm making steady progress on those - 65 down, 12 to go. Even though I'm almost certain I covered every 360 when I used them every weekday to get home from school in the past, they're proving difficult to grab as they don't serve anywhere I travel in the weekday peak, so I have to rely on off-peak or weekend trips to get them...

Wow that was a big post indeed! Looks like a rather productive couple of months though Doing far better than I with the 321s, and let's not even mention the 360/1s...

It would take me an absolute age to keep check on what I've cleared for 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000 miles so I'm glad in a way I don't do that! Mind you, I can't wait to get my RailMiles account active again so I can get my logs more up to date again!

It's not something I'd considered doing until fairly recently, so when I started I was only documenting what units I'd travelled on, rather than including where I was going - hence 'first documented mileage'. I started documenting units probably around late 2012, and journeys around september 2013. It's an interesting way of glancing at which units you end up spending more time on, if that's your thing, but I think why I value it more is simply that it places a more fair weighting on units you travel on rarely but for longer distances - the prime case of that for me being the ECML between London and York. By pure coincidence, four of the dozen or so journeys I've made this year have included two pairs - i.e. the same unit has cropped up on twice on two occasions, which given the size of the combined fleet of EC 91s, HSTs and GC 180s, is quite unexpected.

What makes this interesting to me is it's all legitimate travel - on a few rare occasions I may divert slightly to take a 'more interesting' route, but I am always travelling within the confines of genuinely needing to go somewhere for work or personal travel, and am very seldom able to add a detour that would drastically affect timing - to me, despite the fact that I'm collecting all this information, I wouldn't see much value in spending a day building up pools of unit numbers. Tracking all this lot manually is not exactly ideal, so I too would be interested in a railmiles account to do it with

 

[Techniquest]

I need to get my RailMiles account back so I can start getting mileage figures noted in my spreadsheet. Not very detailed yet and I'm still struggling to remember any formulas and so on to use in it. I daresay Access would be better for me, but while I like what the program can do I'm not very good with it

I do the same thing in recording the mileage on a trip. The way I look at it at some point you will probably clear a class for haulage (especially the smaller fleets) so then your next target can be 50, 100, 150 miles on the entire fleet. It could be endless.......think I might be a bit OCD at times

 

[samuelmorris]

I picked it up from someone else in this forum, I wouldn't have thought about it otherwise, but it does generate some interesting stats. Since measuring, I have a couple of 357s nudging 80 miles and a small handful of 321s over 50, none of either class have yet been recorded past 100. Shame I couldn't retrospectively cover this though, as I once did the full Liverpool Street - Ipswich on a 321 (again by necessity) so that would have got it most of the way there. I'm curious to see which of the units tops 100 first.
When first going for full set ridership, 357210 eluded me for almost a full month after scoring the remaining 73 units, but it's now middle of the road with 33 miles recorded.
I now have just a single 357, 357014 devoid of any mileage recorded since September.

Since the 321s haven't got full ridership yet it's a bit early to draw trends like that - they are used often, but not as often as 357s which are the default daily commute.

The LUL stock is a real mixed bag - I have 30 S7s missing entirely for ridership of the current fleet, so around half - yet set 33 is streets ahead of the rest of them with 27 miles recorded across 6 separate journeys. Getting 10 mile haulage on the whole S7 fleet is something I doubt I'll achieve prior to their withdrawal, given my average journey distance on them is only a mile or two.

The LUL fleet looks promising with only 7 units left to score out of the 154 , but now I travel on it so infrequently, that's going to be a long wait too.

May has been another busy month on the haulage front with three trips out of the metropolis (and all those within the space of a few days). The daily commute, or variations thereon, still seems to generate a few significant entries in the haulage register. Here's what attracted a mention in the haulage log together with some notes on the trips outside the "daily commute".

This was simply the product of a Sunday afternoon trundling around the South West Trains suburban network within the confines of the travelcard zones. The highlight has to be winner 444003 as I am left with only one to get (015) then it’s a case of boosting the mileage of a significant minority

A whole week without adding anything of the significance to the register and a free Sunday afternoon saw mw take yet another look at South West Trains. Unlike the previous Sunday when I was able to grab a few 444s, it was almost exclusively 450s that provided the entertainment, especially as I came away with a winner in the shape of 450029 – that’s two left to get (117 and 120) along with a bucket load that are low mileage.

The first of three long distance trips saw me taking advantage of the Virgin Seat Sale. It would have simply been rude to refuse Liverpool and back for £19 on a weekday. Add in the bargain of a Mersey Saveaway at £4.90, all was set for a good day although as is the norm, winning Pendolinos evaded capture. My prime target was the 507/508 fleet, of which I required 14 outright winners and a further 39 were below the gold standard of 10 miles. Starting the Saveaway at 09:30 sharp, I spent the first five hours of my day on the Wirral lines and visited such exotic places as Bebington, Bromborough (but not the Rake) Moreton, Port Sunlight, Birkenhead North, Hamilton Square and Green Lanes before things started to slow up so I headed for the “Northern” lines with one of the main targets being the numerous pairs that run around on the northern part of the Mersey rail network in the evening peak. During the course of the following four hours or so, I managed to get visits to Aigburth, Brunswick, Hall Road, Bank Hall and Old Roan. All in all an excellent day rounded off with a winning 2009 tube stock on the way home. And I did well on the shack front too with eleven new. But I still need to go back! It was only when I was writing up the trip did I realise that the last time I had 508128/134/138 was way back in 1983/84 when they were novelties on the South West Division of the old Southern Region!

Despite the exertions of the previous day, I had to take advantage of a comparatively rare free Saturday. Wanting to achieve something but at the same time not wishing to stray too far, I opted to take a look at North Kent and the 375/3s in particular – the aim being to cover the five diagrams; two on the main line and three on the Medway Valley. One of the main line diagrams showed up with a 4-car 375 but everything else worked as booked with two out of three winners, I was happy with the 375/3 haul. I used HS1 to get to North Kent and ended up with a decent haul of Javelins in the process (395s are a Class that I have not paid a great deal of attention to. Throw in two 2009 tube stock units and a couple of others required for 10 miles and another enjoyable day out, especially when three new shacks were also added to the tally.

Another early start saw me on the road for the third time in five days. This was getting a bit like the early 80s but a second go at the Virgin Seat Sale was a must! This time, target Manchester where I had the chance on reams of units for the gold standard of 10 miles as well as a sizeable number of potential winners. Surely this would be a recipe for success? The day started well with a brand new winner of a 2009 tube stock set so both ends were duly ridden & recorded. While I could not secure a winning Pendolino (familiar theme emerging here?), I was soon in Manchester and availed myself of the local rail rover at £5 a pop. I had a quick trip to Hale before landing up on the Bolton – Salford Crescent corridor which proved a little fortuitous as I encounter both of the 150s that I had never photographed as well as numerous pacers and 150s that were mileage hits. I then headed for Castleton on a low mileage pacer for another on straight back only to be distracted at Manchester Victoria by a winning 150 heading for Stalybridge. A rapid return to Man Vic saw me drop onto a winning 156468 but I was starting to get bored with trips to Bolton so I once I had 10 miles on this I went “south side” on a low mileage 185 and headed into the Airport on a low 156482 and soon back out on a winning 185112. Since pacers were the main objective, I took a look at the Marples – more 150s there than I previously remembered but managed a few pacers. Time was pressing on so two quick spins to Stockport and back to Piccadilly before the obligatory raid on Sainsburys homeward rations. I managed a winning vomit comet (voyager to the uninitiated) to Stockport before yet another dud Pendolino back to the Smoke. Nine outright winners and 11 pacers cleared for 10 miles means that it was another successful trip – not forgetting another four new shacks. Roll on June ….

Very pleased to report bagging my final D stock set - 7030 - on Sunday, and now I don't have to worry as to when they will start disappearing.

Also came across my first 377/6 today - horrible seats.

33063 and 31206 at SVR on Saturday.

Alas, since I only started recording units in the last 18 months or so, I've only managed to red pen 76 D78s, so pretty much half. I did use them a fair bit in childhood so odds are good I have actually been on most of them, but probably not every single one. Matters weren't helped by the fact that when the S7s were new I was trying to score them as quickly as possible so was intentionally avoiding the District line for a while (oh, and it being far more crowded than the H&C/Circle also had something to do with it )

I don't actually mind the 377/6 seats, they're odd but I haven't found them uncomfortable for the (admittedly short) journeys I've had on them.
