LU: 51528/529, 51575/576*

(*Forgot Euston was Northbound rather than Southbound from Kings Cross on the Northern Line, but winning pairs into and out of Angel was reasonable consolation!)

I needed to be in Woking in the evening
so it seemed appropriate to have tea in Berkhamsted and get some 730s to pass the time.

730029 - Watford Junction to Berkhamsted
730038 - Berkhamsted to London Euston
730042 - London Euston to Watford Junction

How bizarre. I had those exact units, but 2 days prior. And London doesn’t hold a lot for me these days.

I still need to make a start with the 720/6s on C2C, but a glance at RTT shows they are more common these days than previously. Probably a potential job for a wet Saturday or a weekday trip when on annual leave.

17/8:
730003 [New Street - Four Oaks]
730004 [Four Oaks - New Street]
730009 [New Street - Four Oaks]
730036 [Four Oaks - New Street]
805008 [Coventry - New Street]
805011 [New Street - Coventry]

A short session in the West Midlands after exploring part of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal, probably won't be the last time I visit Four Oaks considering it's just over ten miles from New Street and gets 4tph (rather than on the southern end where the ten mile mark is Barnt Green which is outside the West Midlands Daytripper area) [and only gets 3tph]. Both Avanti units were luck due to not showing on RTT.

Blimey that's a good haul in one day, what event was it out of interest?
It was a great day out and was the BLS (Branch Line Society) Tours to celebrate 50 years of Drax Power Station. Was only expecting 6 locos plus the 20s but each of the 3 freight companies sent additional locos. We also had 66301 on the back for one section but it did not apply power
Here is a video of the 3 DB 66s + 69 on the back at Sherburn in Elmet I found.

Must have a go behind Wells at some point. Visited the footplate once when it turned up randomly at Sheffield once whilst I was waiting for a train*, but not travelled behind it.

(*The former owner and I used to occasionally coincide in the same pub!)

21/8:
458415 & 458420 as 458/4s

As a Salisbury stopper was cancelled, I had time to kill with a leap to Clapham (and back to Waterloo on a pair of 450s because boarding a single 159 at Clapham Junction is less than ideal)

I do like the interior and I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the 458s, will need to give the 1st class a try the next time I ride one to see what that's like.
