Well done to Saphos tours (LSL) for running and organising this charter which was aimed at the enthusiast fraternity and without a diesel on the back as is the usual noem for Saphos, other than the normal dining oriented tours. Consist was 71000 & support coach, generator van, and a rake of MK1 1st opens & a single 2nd class MK 2a on the rear, which i was in, excellent weather conditions for the run, and i timed 71000 over Shap summit at around 48mph (its varies with different people, so hopefully there was a official timekeeper involved)

I think the Avanti West Coast platform supervisor came to the end of his rope as he called the BTP to clear the end of the platform as members of the public/photographers wouldn't stand behind the yellow line, luckily i was able to get my photos in time, as can be seen everybody seemed to behind the yellow line as a TPE Class 397 departed North

D11-D137:
42 Aller Junction
43 Exeter St David’s (Red Cow Crossing at the north end)
44 Cowley Bridge Junction
I reckon that several others are in the Down main platform at Exeter, just not right at the south end like the identified ones.

34009-34014
86-88 are the approaches to Waterloo, probably Queen’s Road, Battersea.

I am slightly hamstrung at the moment as Google Images Preview, which I use to check suspicions, has gone to low resolution.
