Interesting that 320s use the Cathcart Circle now, previously dominated by 314s. I'll have to keep my eye on those services next time I'm up, unless of course I finish my 320s before my next visit to Central High Level.

It is strange seeing 320s on the Cathcart Circle stations. They only seem to work the circulars and Newton via Maxwell Park circuits, however. This leaves 314s on the Neilston and Newton via Queens Park runs.

Meanwhile, the 314s have much more Inverclyde work with the Gourock and Wemyss Bay runs half 314 and half 380 last Saturday.

I meant to mention that leading up to Easter I will have more observations - including a trip across to AGA land tomorrow.

I've found it much cheaper to go to Birmingham via Hereford, although the connections are a bit tight on the way back as the GWR from Paddington is always delayed near Evesham!

At my desk
Excellent day out with my daughter to Ipswich yesterday.

Lots of lovely cops of sheds and plenty of freight too. Looks like Wednesday is a good day to go.

All listed on my blog.
