Red Pen 2015 - your new haulages

[Techniquest]

WOW! That was a good haul there! My list for today so far is, well, not worth posting yet! On one hand I've done well, on the other I've done very poorly. All will be revealed soon, but I've just had a celebratory bottle of cider so it hasn't been too bad a day I suppose!

It was a Kent Rover! No idea how you've missed it if you were keeping up with this thread https://twitter.com/hashtag/techsgardening?f=realtime&src=hash

I have mentioned my Kent Rover trip a few times around here lol. Plenty of tweets to keep you all busy!

Twitter? hock:

I only use them for speaking to TOCs.

Well, I look forward to your trip report.

I love Twitter personally!

Trip report will be up eventually, got it written up to date so far in my notebook at least.

My list of my latest winners will be posted on Thursday I suspect, I actually have a better list now than this time yesterday!

Just back from another trip with an eclectic selection of winners from Austria, Czech Republic and Germany including narrow and standard gauge, steam, diesel and electric and one Polish Loco now based in the Czech Republic. Total to date is 42 for the year but unlikely to increase greatly any time soon as I will be stuck in the UK for a few months.

[55013]

Me and 45135 had an afternoon jaunt to Kent yesterday, taking advantage of East Coasts £20 first class offer.
We did 91113 Leeds to Kings Cross, then 395006 from St Pancras to Gillingham, 395014 back and then home on 43277/43305.

The two 395s were both winners

 

[Techniquest]

Did you enjoy your experience on the 395s?

I guess it's time I got my list posted, as I haven't got to wait for Flickr to get on with it as the Internet here at home is misbehaving badly, so Flickr's not an option at the moment. Just when I was going to upload all my photos ready for the trip report...Here goes my list then:

Redcar British Steel (like Lympstone Commando, this is a very special exception to the rule. As long as the train calls there, it's counted, as there's no other way of doing such stations)

Wy can't you do those stations? With British Steel Redcar, there are 2 trains that stop, even though it is a VERY long wait and with Lympstone Commando, it isn't so long until a train comes along!

Wow Techniquest That was some trip. A little bit of red pen envy here as I've never done Tyne & Wear Metro. Think I must try and make that an aim for this year.

Although I have a busy year ahead with other things going on as I reach a milestone birthday and have a bucket list to do this year.

Just waiting for the beginning of next month when I knock one of them of, a trip on the Caledonian Sleeper with Monday spotting in London and Tuesday spotting in Glasgow. I will have to think about doing a trip report for this one.

Definitely worth a go, I certainly enjoyed it a lot. I'll be going back hopefully later this year, as I still need quite a few Metro units for haulage and a good number of stations on the system to go.

I had a landmark birthday last year and celebrated big time with a big bash, definitely makes it more enjoyable!

I shall look forward to the trip report!

[55013]

Did you enjoy your experience on the 395s?

Yeah, although it's a shame so much of the fast running is in tunnels.
It would be nice to see North London flying past.

The stuff around London is going to be a lot harder to get because I am currently not allowed there on my own, but hopefully the stuff like NR, EMT and ATW will go up soon!

 

[Techniquest]

You've got a lot to get then!

55013: Aye, but then is it really worth seeing some of the, shall we say, less than pleasant parts of London at speed? There's not exactly much nice to see anyway!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Yeah, although it's a shame so much of the fast running is in tunnels.
It would be nice to see North London flying past.

Next time, I would suggest doing St Pancras to Ashford and back. Nice long stretch flat out between Ebbsfleet and Ashford.

That's why it would be good to see it flying past

Sounds good.
Thanks for that tip, something for next time.
