Red Pen 2015 - your new haulages

[Techniquest]

Maybe use the day before to use a GE to do Liverpool if nowt else?

You've also got the following weekend to do a GE don't forget!

Congrats Noddy on completing the Heathrow Expresses, festering around Heathrow or was it a case of seeing a required 332 at Paddington and paying up for a quick 332 blast?

Thanks. I got lucky to be honest. This was my third stint at Heathrow after my second stint didn't work out. I got there and fell onto them one after another. But I didn't do what TEW suggested and go into and out of T5 on the same sets. I literally went in and waited for the next set and then back. I picked all three up one after another. I did do the Piccadilly in and then back out. There is no way I was paying the HEx fare for such a short distance.

 

[Techniquest]

Shame they don't do that Meet and Greet day return any more, that was a fantastic idea and I used it once just to do the track. Well, and to enjoy a high speed 332 run (this was well, well before I logged my journeys properly! Certainly a good while before T5 was opened that's for sure!) down the GWML of course.

*Adds 332 leaps to the seemingly endless list of things to do on the next London bash*

I'm on a Thames branches rover in a couple weeks time, so I might go down to Heathrow during the day, might even pay the premium to do the full run from Paddington to Heathrow on a 332 (just to experience it).

12CSVT: Well done on clearing the Blackpool Flexity trams, how many are in use on an average day? I still haven't been up there to do the line let alone the trams, but planning a visit soon and would be nice to know how many I could potentially get in one day.

Looks like a lot of us have been busy lately! I'm still hoping to beat my total of winners from last year, doing well so far but a long way to go yet!

Total(YTD):121

Inspired by all the talk of 332s on here I went down to Heathrow for a couple of hours and have now cleared the entire fleet. A couple of hours in the evening peak produced the last three 313s I required for haulage too (except the NR unit). 6 more 387s means I need just 8 /1s now too. All in all a very successful day.

Mind you, I need so many EMUs that scoring winning ones in London is like shooting fish in a barrel

Well done on the 332s! Pretty boring down there isn't it?

From what I could see, 8 are in service on any one day this time of year (15 minute frequency) but more are in use during summer and illuminations.

 

[hassaanhc]

There's also the risk of getting the same one you've had before if you do it at weekends. I've had that before sadly, shall have to get down there next time and have more of a clearout. Last time I did Heathrow it was for planespotting so not exactly doing HEx.

Worth pointing out, now I've remembered it, that you can also get to Heathrow from Feltham, using what I believe is the 265 bus from Feltham station. About a 20 minute trip I think, certainly better than sufffering the Piccadilly line!

I reckon I could spend a full week in London and still need a lot!

285, not 265! :P That is for Heathrow Central, if going to T4 or T5 then it is the 490. The Piccadilly Line is best avoided for anything more than 10-15 mins, I find it slow and tedious.
Another alternative for Heathrow is a 360 or Turbo to Hayes & Harlington then the 140. Or from Southall you can get the 105 for Central or 482 for T4 and T5.

Thanks, not too bad that then. Hopefully I'll be booking myself a trip up to Blackpool soon and know I can clear quite a few trams

55013: Wow! That's a most impressive list!

Hassan: Thanks for the bus gen, it has been at least 3 years since I did Heathrow by local bus! Some interesting ideas there for alternatives to Heathrow, must remember those.

[jnjkerbin]

So, Red Pen for March then...

375601 - Last 375/6 leaving only 6 375/3s to get before clearing the entire class.
466027 - Last 466 and last Southeastern networker
319375
319451

Not a great month but will be going on a trip to Somerset to see family and a Daysave which I'll do a trip report for so that should boost things a bit.

I dunno, the section between Hammersmith and Acton Town sailing past the District line stoppers can be quite entertaining

I'm not quite sure I follow

How did you score 37674?! Also well done on getting your last GC power car in, or if it was your last HST power car full stop, my jealous congratulations!

 

[samuelmorris]

Lots of red pen overdue, heavy workload has prevented me from updating - I know for sure I bagged some winners this week though, so hoping to use some of the bank holiday to catch up - Scored a small number of 387s, possibly a couple of 377/6s and at least one or two 321s as well as a few 315s, probably some more S stock on there too, but really, where do you start with all the electrostars...

37674 is on the shuttle from Northallerton West at Wensleydale. Doesn't count towards YTD total though but good to have it in the book nonetheless.

That was the last HST power car overall, also the last required number from the GC fleet.

See. I did say you would like it.
