You may well have encountered someone I know on these particular moves, who rated 90010 as his 'machine' and had, last I heard, well over a quarter of a million miles behind it.

Excellent. EPBs made it down the Arun Valley to Bognor Regis during that snowy period.

90010 is my highest mileage class 90, though with just over 5000 miles, rather pathetic in comparison to your friend!
Of note I did have 90010 from Liverpool Street to Cambridge on one occasion before being dragged to Norwich by a class 47 during the Ipswich Tunnel blockade in Summer 2004.

Certainly a bit more interesting than usual. At that time I did not work weekends so I have no more snow stuff until the following Monday. I suppose I could have gone out but would have run the risk of getting stuck somewhere!

Others who did this tour will know all about it. Needless to say little information was available as to what would happen with this train.
Here's what I did to get home bearing in mind that nothing controlled by Wimbledon ASC was available.
South West Trains ran a special at 2120 to Twickenham using 4Cep 1512. From there a bus was taken to Richmond. From there the District line was used to Victoria. Connex conveyed me to Ashford on the 2348 using 4Vep 3806. From where a long-suffering father took me home in his Vauxhall Astra.

I then did some track bashing on EMUs around the Glasgow area before doing the 1820 from Queen Street to Oban with three 156s, running 90 minutes late. The reason for this trip to Oban will become apparent tomorrow …

The Fort William sleeper portion was amended to start from Oban because of engineering work north of Bridge of Orchy, thus providing the first sleeper service out of Oban for several decades.
As 67s weren’t cleared to Oban, a 37/4 was the power:
37406 1943 Oban – Edinburgh Waverley via Crianlarich, Westerton, Falkirk High.
I would add that a Sunday in Oban in February does not have a lot to commend it.
By the way, I gently tip my hat to those of you picking up outrageous diesel haulage of EMUs around the Southern Region in the depths of the great freeze of 1991. It was all I could do to keep going to / from work, without picking up new haulage too.
