Red Pen 2015 - your new haulages

[bb21]

YTD: 143

Wow! That was cheating of epic proportions. With light rail one can easily score lots and lots and lots in one day in a big system.

Anyhoo

It doesn't have to be light rail - you could probably score about 50 378s in a day if you had never been on one before. It just needs to be anything with a compact network.

 

[Techniquest]

It's not cheating at all! I could get far more in a day on the Tube and DLR

No-one ever said light rail isn't includable in this thread, besides if we can count foreign stuff then light rail is perfectly fine.

I could accuse a lot of you of 'cheating' simply because you get to spend a lot of time on the rails. If I could afford to do so, I'd be out far more often than I am currently!

Very nice indeed, I still need to return to Supertram for some shack scratching and a lot of the trams too. Just there's better things to be doing!

Still haven't been able to get a seat on 180102 at the 3rd time of trying

Roll on Manchester tomorrow

 

[Techniquest]

Jealous of you Kite159 and your trip to Manchester!

 

[Kite159]

Jealous of having 2 more super lovely XC 221s?

I was shocked today, the return leg (139) was running early and had to sit outside Basingstoke for a few minutes for the junction to clear! A XC service running on time/early, Reading improvements must be working!

Don't normally log my haulages as a matter of course, but I did get the TdF 158 home from the football on Tuesday night... Maybe I should start logging units I get, but then I just end up being even more annoyed when 144022 inevitably turns up on HUD-DBD!

Well done on the 200th post, the way I'm going I'll be on 11,000 before summer arrives

I take it your post means you've healed up and back in action again?

Oh god no, not jealous of the 221s! Reading must be getting there aye, although I do wonder how often FGW get held just east of the station, as used to be common practice...

Glad you asked about the POD, I was wondering that too.

Unfortunately not fully healed. Just done two days of testing the ankle and is quite sore tonight. I need to rest it a bit more

I wondered where you'd been lately!

Congratulations on getting your last 67 scored, quite the achievement there and you're the first person I've heard of in my regular circle (if that makes sense!) that's cleared them.

Lots of 314s, but I see a lack of 314213 in your list. Does that mean you've had it already or it wasn't out?

Very productive trip indeed there, looking forward to the trip report as always. Seems everyone is bashing in Scotland this year!

That really seems to be pushing the boundaries of what's includable here, those things are just bizarre...

Thanks.
67011 has been bugging me for quite a while now.
My penultimate one was 67020 in September 2010, so four and a half years needing just one, I was quite pleased

Lots of 314s, but I see a lack of 314213 in your list. Does that mean you've had it already or it wasn't out?

314213 was one of two that I'd had previously.
Did it work? All will be revealed in my report (Hint: yes it did).

Very productive trip indeed there, looking forward to the trip report as always. Seems everyone is bashing in Scotland this year!

To be honest, the trip was booked way back at the start of January and before I went I was starting to think I had made the wrong call and should have gone South instead.
In the end, it turned out fine!
I'm going to start writing the report now, no idea when It'll be finished.

DB 182021. Class cleared!
Having wanted only that one for 18 months a bit nervous to see it parked on the standby set at Dresden but kicked out this morning as the poxy units can't cope with the loadings as usual!

Am I supposed to congratulate you or curse your good luck ?

As far as I'm aware neither of the two 67s I still need for haulage have turned a wheel this year, these being 67006 (stored at Crewe Electric), and 67019 (at Toton).
