66103 & 66154 were also my first red pens of the year funnily enough!

Whether it is dark or you are asleep it doesn't matter, you are still physically travelling along the line. Unless of course you teleport somewhere else when it becomes dark or you nod off in which case it becomes awkward. I've done all my mainline passenger track in this country apart from...

How long is the line now then?

I can confirm 142087 has been refurbished. Caught it from Mexborough to Doncaster on the morning of the 27th. Very clean and fresh inside...for now.

I too scored 56094 and 60092 on the Thames Angerman tour on Saturday. Along with these I also scored 73006 before leaving Crewe yesterday after accidentally flagging it earlier in the year, it being confirmed as running when we heard the familiar horn of a 73 whilst loading up the car in the...

Late last year I was sat in FC on a 170 at Glasgow Queen St, waiting for departure to Edinburgh. The train was busy but I was the only person in FC. Shortly before departure the driver walks through the train heading for the cab just behind me. He began to open the cab door and then paused...

I wonder what my favourite 37 could be? :wink: 37372 along with 37408 were the first 37s I had for haulage as a 12yr old back in 2004. Turned up in Leeds that morning to find a blue tractor in the platform, completely withered me! I was hooked and 8 years on I've had over 50 more of them...

Having had a look through their website, a number of new tours have cropped up around the back end of 2012/beginning of 2013. There seems to be a variety of places visited, some fairly common some slightly less common. Plenty of English Electric action to be had too. The price seems to have...

Has the sheer sight of a train ever made anyone just avoid the thing though? I'm sure it happened a lot in BR bashing days... I planned to go home from Huddersfield via Penistone once, I saw a yellow 142 sat in the Sheffield platform. Abrupt "No!" and a dash over to the other side for a...

Peterborough... Back in summer 2007 I decided to do an ALR. As a 15yr old with a PRIV I decided that now was the time to do one before I turned 16 later that year. Anyway, last day of the rover, a Saturday. I'd stayed at a friends house the night before and when I set off I had no plan...

153317+153378 involved according to WNXX.

Aha that's the one, the name escaped me. Just watched them now...anyone fancy going there tonight? Creepy stuff!

I believe it is Naworth level crossing that is supposedly haunted, I watched a series on Youtube (think it was called Haunted Britain) and it featured in there, with a couple of accounts from people who'd experienced strange goings on there. Think it's on Youtube still but its in so many parts I...

Those two beasts would've been 56311 & 56312 working a rake of empty stone wagons to Peak Forest for what I believe is a new contract with Cemex. After loading up they worked the train through to Attercliffe.

Looks good, I like the addition of some major freight lines in there, my map is completely blue now but adding some freight bits could make it a bit more interesting.

At the risk of upsetting O L Leigh I prefer the 90 to the rest of them. The 67 is alright but a bit bland I think. For some reason the HST livery reminds me of some sort of chocolate box branding.

Full timings listed here: http://rail.staging.swlines.co.uk/schedule.php?uid=U52949&date=2012-03-31 http://rail.staging.swlines.co.uk/schedule.php?uid=U52950&date=2012-03-31 Both the outward and return run.

Snap! :lol: Then on Sunday I also copped D2041, D2184 and 31255 with theblackwatch and Jordy.

I'm surprised at you needing D8001!

Dodgy area that... I was at Heckington station once and was approached by some guy with an Eastern European accent and black leather jacket asking what time it was... then he caught me looking at something he had in his hand that had on it something ending in "Prison" He looked at me with some...
