Czech Railways tri-voltage Class 380 electric loco 380 007-5 at Prague Main Station on 7th October 2017. The Type 109E locos designed in 2004 have been the subject of a dispute between manufacturer Škoda and Czech Railways. Of an order for twenty, placed in 2005, it was was not until 2013 before the class received main line a certification for use in the Czech Republic. Their proposed use on the Prague-Dresden-Berlin-Hamburg route was scrapped and Siemens Vectron locos were leased instead. A Deutsche Bahn order for locos of this class (designated Class 102 in Germany) from Škoda has also experienced similar certification issues.

387207 approaches Downham Market, at the head of the 1T41 1444 King's Lynn to London King's Cross Great Northern service - 07/10/2021.
A fabulous walk today. We took the train from Downham Market to Watlington & then walked all the way back home along the Fen Rivers Way footpath, with a stop at our favourite local pub near Stowbridge for lunch. I noticed a 'tomato' had gone up to King's Lynn & was on the correct end for this shot, so I diverted over here on the way home to see it return & also to photograph a Middleton Towers sand train behind it. I managed to grab this train with the sun out, but just ran out of luck with the sand train by a couple of minutes.
A pair of two car Gloucester Railway & Carriage Works class 100 DMU's rasp away from Marston Green station on their Journey to Rugby Midland, possibly the 4.20 PM. The train is passing over the road crossing. the gates were controlled by the signal box next to the footbridge
On the platform the lad porter has two heavy looking rolls, one on his shoulder the other tucked under his arm, they will have arrived on the DMU. The senior man, complete with his official cap, has the more important duty of watching the train go past.
The station was still gas lit, a lamp is visible both sides and a lovely lantern juts out over the building doorway, perhaps it is the camera angle but the OHL mast looks as if it directly in front of the door!

With a decade having elapsed since this locomotive was named to commemorate the class's Golden Jubilee, this shot of DRS Class 37/6 37601 "Class 37 - Fifty" stabled at Didcot was taken back in 2012 when the power station cooling towers were still intact...

Re-engined Metrovick Class A 001 runs into Laytown from the south with a Dublin-Drogheda stopper. 14th May 1994. The semaphores were gone the following day.
With the imminent replacement with 31/4 and hauled stock, the Inter-City Trans-Pennine Class 123 & 124 units were in their last days. I liked these units. They were comfortable and powerful and the Class 123 ex WR units rode extremely well.

158790 cruises over Ribblehead Viaduct, with the 2H12 0748 Leeds to Carlisle service - 18/06/2021.
The last shot I took on our holiday in Ribblehead, before the long journey home. It was nice to grab the last train in sunshine. I remember we arrived at Ribblehead in thick fog & you couldn't see either the viaduct or the pub! This was probably the best holiday we have ever had there. We definitely went at the right time of year. The weather was a lot better this time & I certainly didn't regret missing the 'Staycation Express' in 2021!
The classic Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) by the Norvegian-American sociologist and economist Thorstein Veblen is certainly still relevant today, perhaps even more so than a century ago, and not only in the western world...
