Having checked with Andy Pacer to make sure we don't duplicate anything... here's the new sightings thread for 2023...

Thanks for linking me to this in the new haulages thread, I missed this somehow!

769959

769959 was on Oxford Up Sidings, along with 949 and a non-ID'd 769. 769939 was noted on Reading depot. Probably the last two I ever get to score for sight! The two 196s were noted stabled on the new sidings at Worcester Shrub Hill.

Managed to see that half of a Eurostar working during a cycle ride in the Netherlands! An unexpected sighting, but a welcome one!

OK then I am back and ready to provide trip report spoilers! The read will be worth the extended wait, I just need to make sure I'm happy with it before it can go up!

So, where did I leave this thread? Oh yes, the chance spotting of a Eurostar in the suburbs of Amsterdam. Here's the rest then:

Not bad for a red pen fest over 5 and something hours, with a number of station-to-station walks and with a suitcase with me for the whole day! Stay tuned for the epic trip report to find out more about the day, let's just say it became my most expensive London-based red pen fest ever!

15/01/2023

700043 (yes, I still want a fair number of 700s for sight!)

710379

717004
717017
717023 (I still want around half of this class for sight, I've been neglecting them for a long time!)

720533

801208

Another mini red pen fest with case in tow, the poor thing has a seriously flat wheel after this adventure! I kid you not, I may have to snap what it looks like after exploring the bumpy streets of Amsterdam and London! Not to mention being made to keep pace with me on the way back to base once in Hereford, it got through a lot!

The red pen list will come in due course, for now I have to go and get ready for a cycle ride before this sunshine goes. Now the frost has more or less gone from the roofs outside, it's time to get pedalling!

Is that a newly-named TPE class 68? If so, was it cancelled due to a short notice change to the timetable?
