Monday 04/06/07
I had moved to Rugby and worked at Euston, so there was one obvious loco-hauled commuting move, provided I was willing to get up early enough:
90018 0620 Rugby – Euston via Northampton
The return leg of the diagram was the 1651 Euston – Birmingham New St.
During June 2007 I did the 0620 on 6 occasions with 90018 and 3 with 90039.
The 1651 I did 3 times with 90018 and 4 times with 90039.
The same pattern carried on for several more months (which I shan’t bother to list), with the same loco usually lasting 2 – 3 weeks at a time.

 

[1971martin]

Required!

The Freightliner 90s were used by Anglia between 2002-2004 and by Virgin between 2010-2012. As a result I was able to clear all 11 locos there (I include 90050 here). They also appeared on the Sleepers a few years ago. Probably not much use if you're in the wrong part of the country though! I think you are Yorkshire or North East England?

90017 2012 Euston – Stockport via Hixon
67019 2331 Stockport – Preston via Manchester Oxford Road, Salford Crescent, Atherton, Wigan North Western
This was load 16 plus dead class 90, and was probably the biggest passenger train via Daisy Hill in years. Heavily delayed at Wigan awaiting a possession being given up.

My plan to do the steam from Fort William to Mallaig was scuppered by the late arrival, so I took a unit to Mallaig to salvage what I could from the day:
156 492 + 156 447 1210 Fort William – Mallaig
