Last night 220001 on the 2027 Man Pic - New St. It should have been 220001 on the ECS to Central Rivers but they nicked the set for the 2204 to Reading. So I had a two hour Brucey bonus!

Would be a very fitting 2016 send off should the last train of this year be heavily delayed to sum this year up in it's entirety <D

That being said, my last one was the delayed Northbound Highland Chieftain from Edinburgh to Perth on 29/12 where someone fell victim to one of them Facebook troll videos with added in audio of a mature nature so to speak, which played loudly throughout the carriage for a few seconds - to the horror of the old woman falling victim to it.

Quite surprised they run so late - thought they always said the network shut down early on NYE but there seems to still be a lot running late on.

Southeastern had a lot of trains running past midnight out of Victoria and Charing Cross - I think the last departures were between 0230 and 0300 and very well loaded too.
