Red Pen 2015 - your new haulages

[Kite159]

First and possibly last time ever that the Shanghai Metro will be mentioned on Red Pen threads! Certainly can't imagine many of us getting those in the book!

Will go as additional units.

And another which will be the only time in this thread
Beijing metro:
S408
0448

I don't think the other cities in visiting have metro systems

First and possibly last time ever that the Shanghai Metro will be mentioned on Red Pen threads! Certainly can't imagine many of us getting those in the book!

Are we showing off then?

From the last few years:

Shanghai Metro (2011)

0112, 0122, 0147, 0235, 0240, 0281, 309, 310, 314, 317, 322, 323, 0407, 0412, 0416, 0417, 0422, 0506, 0605, 0718, 0742, 0801, 0809, 0819, 0829, 0832, 0913, 0916, 0928, 0935, 1002, 1005, 1006, 1024, 1027, 1030, 1034, 1122, 1131 (Yeah I was doing network coverage, which is no longer sufficient now due to new line openings and extensions in recent years.)

Shanghai Metro (2012)

0118, 0120, 0127, 0137, 0257, 308, 312, 316, 0406, 1036

Beijing Metro (2011)

071, 1072, G451, S412, T404, T435, TP412, W412, W416, W422

Nanjing Metro (2012)

01073/01074

National Rail (2011)

SS9-0160, CRH3-055C, CRH2-166A

National Rail (2012)

CRH2-173A, CRH2-176A

Nothing from recent years unfortunately. I never thought units from outside Europe counted as no one really understood them.

Hope you had a good time Dave. The high peak rush hours on the Metro with-flow is quite an experience in itself.

I have no idea how they number the units in Beijing. Off the grape vine each line had its own numbering system.

 

[Techniquest]

I always count it, regardless of country! I don't think we were doing Red Pen threads at the time bb21 so I stand by my comment

You just know somebody is gonna come along now and go "Shanghai metro? Cleared it mate".

On the subject of metro, I managed to clear all the Paris line 1 (MP05 stock) units during my time there. 49 units but working full time so guaranteed at least 10 a week, although it took me ages to get the last one.

The Chinese are having a subway building boom, new lines opening yearly. Will probably take a couple days to do the entire system, including the premium airport runs (and maglet)

As it is 'spring holiday' (new year) week, the Beijing subway was running at 'offpeak' 30 tph, no massive crowds nor the so called 60tph peak service. Still massively busy around the tourist hotspots.

Just for you Techniquest.

Bleedin' nora fishquinn, you did have a very good day! You must have needed a lot with LM then!

Just seen the attached photo of 350239 from bb21, my immediate reaction is not polite!

*Fingers crossed I have a fair bit of a clearout of my 350 requirements on Monday*

 

[bb21]

I actually have a picture of 350231 as well also from this morning, but thought I better not rub it in too much.

I did need a lot of LM stuff, but that has gone down. I only need 11 London Midland 323s now though!

My holiday has brought me to Xi'an, where between being on a bus heading to see some porcelain soldiers (I've been on pacers with better ride, that thing was bouncing along fighting it's way though traffic) I've walked out of the hotel, risked death crossing the road to ride my 3rd Chinese subway, opened in 2011 and still being built (2 lines open out of 6+ so far)

Not jealous, not at all...[/sarcasm]

Very good bit of results there 55013, fair dos.

16 hours until I'm heading to town for my GE now, bring it on already!

 

[Kite159]

Enjoy your GE Justin

A shame I can't track you on Twitter owing to the lack of twitter in this mad and busy land.

 

[Techniquest]

Oh I will, got my vouchers printed and getting rather excited now!

350231, 350239, hopefully plenty of 350/3s and 321416, you WILL be in the book by Tuesday morning!

 

[bb21]

Justin I like that.

 

[Techniquest]

Justin I like that.

I do like Justin as an alter ego, so much so it's been used for the last couple of years! That said in my case Justin's the 'norm' so doesn't tend to see the light of day

Finally found 221111 on 1735 Chester - Crewe on Thursday - cleared the Virgin 221s.

Plenty ox XCs to go though

Fantastic! I was in Xi'an in July. We took the Sleeper from Beijing. That was...fun!

I have less than originally expected to post from today, but the trip report will fully explain the reasons. Yes I will be starting it soon, I have almost 4 A4 sides of notes to go through from today!

Many thanks HAVE to go out to Dennis at LM's Twitter Towers, otherwise I'd have not got 350239! Had an amazing Great Escape today, truely lived up to its name, now it's waiting for the next one to get the other 8 350/3s in!

 

[bb21]

Well done. Those two weren't too tricky to get after all.

What is your nemesis now?

 

[FQ]

Congrats on clearing your 350/2s and LM 321s!

 

[Techniquest]

Well done. Those two weren't too tricky to get after all.

What is your nemesis now?

I did need help finding 350239 mind, bug they're finally out of the way!

Not got a nemesis yet after those two, will no doubt have one show up following my next trip in a couple of weeks

Fishquinn: Thanks!
