From my long weekend based in Crewe:

11/8:
197104 [Crewe - Chester]
197112 [Liverpool Lime Street - Runcorn] (The service I caught ran a few minutes in front of a Pendo allowing a linear hop to get back to Crewe]
777001 [Maghull North -> Liverpool Central -> Kirkdale] (Was originally going to catch it from Moorfields but it got 'cancelled' but still ran to Ormskirk)
777008 [Aughton Park -> Moorfields]

Cleared for mileage:
777007

12/8:
197014 [Newton-le-Willows -> Manchester Oxford Road

13/8:
197002 (Chester - Flint)
197018 (Flint - Chester)
197044 (Runcorn East - Chester) [always a nice bonus to score an unit on a required move after a long walk]
230007 (Wrexham General - Bidston) [First of the Welsh 230s!]

14/8:
196103 (Bilbrook - Telford Central]
196110 (Telford Central - Birmingham New Street)

Also had 67012 for the first time since October 2013 (when it was run by Chiltern) on the Sunday on the morning service going via Styal (which will probably annoy @Techniquest )

Congratulations Mr Kite at getting that unusual track in on a 67, that will be done eventually I'm sure! Well done on finally getting a 230 as well!

With WMR *finally* resuming normal service yesterday, I went out after work to score something:

14/08/2023

196010

Wanted it for sight as well, so getting it in the book on a trip to Malvern Link was really welcome. There's just 196011 to get to clear the 196/0s now :D

These are all from my Paris trip; Z prefixes are EMUs, TT prefixes are traims. Ordinary trams are unprefixed - no TGVs bashed on this trip so no risk of confusion with the numbers. Most French units are dual numbered ( like Eurostars ) but as with the sightings thread I have only listed the lead number on them; I am putting both numbers in for Eurostars, though, as those can be split.

Only two 197/0 (043/049) and two 197/1 (110/111) to get on now (four total), and then I’ve been on all of the accepted 197s.

049 is yet to work a passenger service though.

Finally, the 196/0s are cleared :D Just 8 196/1s to get, and I'm surprised they haven't made their way down the Hereford route yet. With the itch of clearing the 196/0s finally scratched, tonight resumes normal service and everything else will get caught up with!

6 more 196s to get to clear the class. The end is near, hopefully in the next few months they'll all be done!

Also on the same day:

Midland Metro trams:

48
49

7 more to get, I'm nearly there. Hopefully a few more will be in service when the extension in Wolverhampton opens. Not that I'm rushing to return to Wolverhampton, mind you I'm not rushing back to Smethwick either!

A last minute decision to visit Birmingham on Monday and Tuesday.
I spent most of Monday at Moor Street catching a few Chiltern units and a pair of 68s.
Tuesday at New Street for first trips on a 196. 2 of 3 required 350s was a bonus.
