GB Railfreight Class 92, 92020 emerges from the darkness of a damp December night into Hartford with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).
A reduced service was running in response to Covid-19 restrictions, with only one train running in each direction serving Edinburgh and Inverness. The usual services to Glasgow, Aberdeen and Fort William were cancelled.
After my visit to the car cemetery, I had a few hours to kill before it was getting dark.
Pedal to the metal for another 230 km to visit an abandoned school were the walls are literally crumbling down.
Not much more information about the history of this place, besides there were 2 escaped prisoners that hijacked a few guards in this school. Don't know if they survived.....

BR class 302 unit no 297 rolls into Barking's platform 8 with a train off the Tilbury line one weekend afternoon. The driver is wearing one of those 'kepi' hats thought to aid British Rail's modern image...
There isn't a convincing case behind this 'Gatwick Express-style' Class 33, which is possibly best explained as a 'depot special'. The inspiration is, of course, Southern Railways Class 73 'thunderbird' locomotive 73202. Modifications would probably be needed to enable the 33 to perform similar duties. That aside, it's an interesting and surprisingly attractive livery (30-May-12).

A class 108 unit calls at Bolton with a service to Blackburn.
This was in the period after the colour light signalling had been introduced but before the old station building on Trinity Street was taken out of use and demolished.
That staircase has long gone. But not the cafe, it is still there slightly altered but now a WH Smiths selling drinks!

Preserved and mainline certified English Electric Type 1 Class 20 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive 20189 lurking about at Toton TMD (Traction and Maintenance Depot) near Long Eaton in the County of Nottinghamshire (UK).

20189 was built at the English Electric Vulcan Foundry Newton le Willows as British Railways Type 1 D8189 in late 1966/early 1967 and withdrawn from service by British Rail on September 1st 1990.

British Rail Class 322 4 car 25kV Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 322481 as operated by Greater Anglia at Ipswich Station in the County of Suffolk (UK).
This unit must be on its last legs as I think these are scheduled for withdrawal along with its 5 classmates at the end of 2021 after 31 years of service.

British Rail Class 90 25kV Bo-Bo electric locomotive 90010 heads southbound working the 1P05 06:00 (07:50 29L) Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service train at a grim Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
90010 was built at British Rail Crewe Works and entered service on October 25th 1988.
The caged signal device to the left of the train is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal L717 at the other end of the platform out of sight (the up line) during bi-directional workings.
