Now down to just 1 442, and 1 319 to clear the fleets. Hopefully I'll be able to clear both before they are withdrawn from their current duties, and in the case of the 442s, potentially withdrawn completely.

Didn't they have one of their open coaches on the train? (see the front coach in this picture)

My red pen action for July consists entirely of sheds and Metrolink M5000s.

That is difficult to say. I have been recording train journeys since 28 July 1990. The longest ago unit to count is 315840 on 2 October 1992 which I haven't ridden since but proper "red pen" travelling came much later. I previously cleared the fleet on 13 November 2010 when I rode 158831 until the introduction of 380s and then when I rode 172222 on 26 March 2012. This time, I have included all renumberings so I should have every unit on current numbering until 458502 enters service.
The job of haulage bashing is never done.
Some new stuff for me on a trip in Chester and surrounding areas.

Today 02/08/14:
S7
21405/6
That means I have all of those that have currently been delivered. Got the chance for a word with the relevant manager from 55 Broadway today and I get the impression that the current hiatus in S7 deliveries may be a bit longer than people are expecting...

So another month passes and activity on the haulage front is still pretty good with some decent results. Main thing of note is that within the space of a week, I managed to clear two EMU classes. Last month I was predicting that I would soon be passing 1,000 different items for the year; little did I realise that by the end of July I would be logging the 1,100th item! Something not recorded formally below, but noteworthy all the same, is that 2014 is likely to be the last year that I will travel on every 319 in a single year with the impending migration away from their traditional operating area. I suitably logged 319010 in the closing days of July as my final 319 for the year. Indeed with 319361 having already gone north, it seems like only yesterday when it was a winner (as 319161) although in reality that date was 25th April 1991! Anyway, enough rambling from me, heres the notable entries from the July haulage log:-

Having a free evening in London having been blown out for drinks, I set about recovering the situation and ended up with five outright winners instead of downing a few beers. Which was better?

One of the usual Sunday afternoon jaunts to try to drive down the South West Trains requirements list saw me picking up my last 444 which made a change from just recording more 450s as cleared for the magic 10 miles. Now where are my last two 450s hiding?

With the other half out with the girls for the day, I seized the opportunity to have a Saturday out in London visiting parts that I normally do not frequent on a regular basis. The objective was to take on the 317s and grab whatever I could. The Railway Gods had other ideas as with ½ hour of my entering 317 territory, I found myself at Stratford and staring at 321331 which was my penultimate dusty bin. A quick excursion down the GEML was the order of the day. Returning to 317-land, I made further attempts to stay within boundaries but again I found myself at Stratford and was quickly distracted. No, not by the hordes of Essex girls going shopping at Westfield but again by a Class 321. This time 321345 was the offender and a quick spin to Liverpool Street saw the 321s finally cleared almost 25 years to the day since I logged my first one (321305 on 15 July 1989)

The need to head to Scotland for business and extending the trip with some leave saw me heading out of London on the 07:30 from Euston. I knew things were going to go well as at Euston, the voodoo spell had been broken (regular readers will recall my recent lack of success in the Pendolino Winning Stakes) with a winning 390044 being my conveyance northwards. Having concluded the days business swiftly, I set about tracking down a few winners with the Fife Circle proving quite a fertile hunting ground with the only distraction being a swift trip out to Livingston North to rake in some winning 334s. 15 winners was not a bad tally for about six hours effort not forgetting the scoring two new shacks in the process!

Day three of the Scottish escapade with the only requirement that I get back to London at some point. Spending the morning peak at Haymarket photographing Scotrail units allowed me to see what haulage hits were about before the 09:15 curfew was lifted on my Central Scotland Rover. Swiftly mopping up all required diesel units that were working around Edinburgh by lunchtime, I progressed over to Glasgow with the aim of heading south in stages (breaking at Carlisle and Preston figured in my plans) sometime in the late afternoon. I spent around 2 hours on the Glasgow suburban network before arriving back at Central, only to be confronted by a second winning Pendolino for the trip so at 16:00, I began the long trip back south. I even managed six new shacks as well.

With a few hours to kill in London before heading out of town for a wedding, I decided to see if London Overground could give me anything decent on the haulage front. The pan was to get some more 378s over the magic 10 miles; I was certainly not expecting to fall into one of two of my last 378s and I even managed a new shack in the process.

Yes, July was a good month with 51 winners from the national network (beating the 47 from June). However, the surprise was clearing three more 319s for 2,000 miles to add to the five that have already passed this notable milestone. How many more will go over that total before the mass migration away from Thameslink routes?

After yesterdays Gipping Lark Freighter tour
165003, 165101 and 180106 to get from Paddington to Reading for the tour!
66085 and 66086 on the tour
Then 165124 and 180108 back to Paddington for the beds back home. Good day and wasn't expecting to pick up that many units as well!

Congratulations, I'll know that joy when the last of the 123 I need get found (I know I said a while I needed 132 but I'd clearly miscounted a fair bit and it should have been 124 at the time)!
Looks like everyone's been busy scoring away in the 2 weeks since I was last on the forum, it's just been so busy with work lately, and will be this week coming, I'm down for 47 hours over 6 days. Add in the long commute each way too and each work day becomes quite long! Did 33.5 this week as it was, thanks to being allowed to finish 30 minutes early last night (cheers boss!
) and that was challenging enough. Still, the rewards will be reaped soon enough...Anyway, enough of me moaning! Following my most recent trip, Techniquest and Red Pen Strike Back (and yes, the trip report is almost ready!), I've got a lot of successes to report and they are as follows:

Sorry it's a long post, would have been slightly shorter but I put in dividers to make for an easier read. You can see that I needed a LOT of stuff on SET! Still need a fair bit but my book is far emptier than it was, however future trips will be more shuttles to and from Charing Cross in the morning and evening peaks I reckon, once I've got all the stations in Kent done when I'm next down that way!

Sounds like you were there the same weekend as me (though I missed / flagged no. 10 due to an urgent appointment with two other locos at the Kent & East Sussex!)

I was there from about 17:00 on the Saturday to 13:00 on the Sunday; I'll try not to leave 25 years until my next visit (was last there in the late 1980s )

A couple more from the last two days:
Bure Valley Railway no. 3 and no. 9, was aiming for more but the hoped-for winners on the NNR didn't appear
Keeping fingers crossed that my next newbies should be a lot bigger and louder

Sounds like you've had a most productive time lately 37038!
Much success from my ALR! I'm writing up my trip report still and will post within the week
Managed a cheeky winner yesterday on the way back from work. Only 1 Heaton unit left now:
