BREL (Derby) Class 158/9 "Sprinter Express" (Cummins 350 hp) Standard Mk.III 2-car dmu No.158 907 of West Yorkshire PTE but operated by Northern Rail at Chesterfield on a Nottingham - Leeds service, 09/10. Note turquoise lower cab panel instead of the usual dark grey.
Heritage traction in B.R blue. Does it get any better? Two of the earliest Class 20s off the production line. 20007 and 20032 rest up at Llandudno Town before returning to Stoke later in the day. I remember this train picked up some really good speed along stretches of the North Wales coast and with the window open and your eyes closed it could almost have been a 40. Almost ;O/

The thirty Class 67 locomotives were built in Spain from 1999 to 2000 for EWS-operated mail services. The locomotives were immediately nicknamed “skips” for obvious reasons. However, in mid-2003, EWS lost the mail contract and the Class 67s largely became redundant, despite being only five years old. Since then they have been used on a variety of duties including freight, the Royal Train, sleeper trains and normal passenger duties.
67013 is seen here at Bristol in 2007 looking a bit redundant. The sign “For Sale, 1 Owner” in the windscreen might have been more effective if she had been parked in a lay-by on a busy A-Road. However, in 2008 she was repainted silver, named "Dyfrbont Pontcysyllte" (Pontcysyllte Aquaduct) and put to work on the Wrexham & Shropshire Railway.
In the background on the left is the derelict Parcelforce building in Cattle Market Road and on the right in the distance are the spires of Temple Meads Station. A small group of Class 37s can also be seen in the background, waiting for their last journey, to the scrapyard.

As a first impression, The seats are soft but awkward to sit on.
But we should learn to be grateful as there are trains out there with solid steel seats.

British Rail Class 745 25kV 12 car EMU (Electric Multiple Unit)
745001 working the 1P24 11:30 (12:00 3E) Greater Anglia London Liverpool Street- Norwich service train at about 100 miles per hour northbound at Hatfield Peverel Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Essex (UK).
The Class 745 EMU's were a direct replacement in early 2020 for the ageing 30 year old plus Class 90 electric locomotives and their slam door British Rail Mk3b coaches which previously worked the Norwich- London Liverpool Street express services..
745001 was built by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the trains. The Dellner coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.
