On 27 December 2024, 387172, now sporting GN logos, has arrived at Letchworth on the 0857 from Kings Cross.
Here I am at Wolverhapton and according to realtime trains, this convoy of 97's was due to pass on platform one (right side of this image), instead being routed through 2 (the one I was standing on), so this is the best I could manage at the time.
Anyways, the convoy consists of 97302, 97303 and 97304 and the date is the 09/07/21.
My demo piece, made during the class. While my students made their dog, I played around and made the little easter bunny ;)
Class 110 (E51813, E59701, E51842) arrive at Irwell Vale working 10:05 Heywood to Rawtenstall. 05/11/17
Having spent a day running to both Uckfield and East Grinstead, Southern's Electro-Diesel 73 202 'Graham Stenning' heads northbound between Riddlesdown and Sanderstead on it's way back to Stewarts Lane Depot. I'm guessing this was a route learning trip for train crew.
I'm guessing that this locomotive, plus other members of class 73s operated by GBRf that haven't been rebuilt, are the only type of traction left on the railway network that have two red roller blinds as a form of tail light indication. That said, preserved 'Hastings Diesel' unit 1001 also uses two red blinds, but as far as I'm aware everything else has red marker lights or flashing tail lamps.
Maybe signs of a harsh winter ahead? Snow plough fitted electro-diesel 73 212 heads Rail Head Treatment Train 3W91 into platform 2 at Redhill, arriving from the Shalford direction. After a brief reversal 73 213 on the rear of the formation will lead the train back to it's base at Tonbridge West Yard.
Stabled on platforms 1 & 2 at Manchester Piccadilly are class 506 1500DC 3car emu's, driving trailer open second (DTS) M59608M with motor open brake second (MBS) M59405M on the left.
The class 506's had exclusively worked the Manchester Piccadilly-Hadfield via Glossop services since June 1954, their last day of operation was approaching fast on the 7th December 1984 only a fortnight way.

Oakham Station
GBRf Class 69 69001 Mayflower (formerly 56031) passes Oakham with a Toton to Whitemoor civil engineers train
Despite seeing almost all of the trans-Pennines DMUs, sadly I only have one photograph of them in operation, and this is a rather poor quality one as it was before I got my first decent camera. Class 124 DMC number E51967 leads a four car set with a westbound service at Doncaster in the early 1980s.
Castle Class HST set 43156+43098 with regional service 2P09 Penzance to Plymouth arriving to St. Erth station
North British (later Class 22) 1,100 hp B-B No.D6320 in BR green livery (but apparently without white stripes?) with small yellow warning panel and no headcodes at Newton Abbot MPD, 08/66. Scanned photograph taken with a Kowa SET.
" "Class envy," far as I can tell, is just a rhetorical cliché used to discount political arguments that attack social inequity as being merely a manifestation of envy. "Class envy" isn't a concept of any historic substance, like, say, "class consciousness" or "free market." "
Interesting tussle over the term here :
59004 (7C76) Acton Terminal Complex to Whatley Quarry empty stone hoppers working rounds the curve towards Fairwood Junction on the avoider heading to the Quarry.
Metro-Cammell (Birmingham) Class 465/9 (ex-465/2) 'Networker' 750v dc 3rd rail suburban 4-car emu No.465 922 (ex-465 222) of Southeastern in their later livery of white with with light blue doors and dark blue lower body sides at Gillingham, Kent on a Victoria - Ramsgate service, 31 May 2022.
Freightliner Class 66 No.66593 climbs Whiteball,with the 08:26 Totnes to Fairwater Yard HOBC working,on the 14th of August 2022.
British Rail Class 170 Turbostar diesel-hydraulic multiple unit No. 170509, operated by East Midlands Railway, at Derby station on 16th January 2025.
A Class 115 DMU with M51677 leading heads North from Amersham, past Hervines Wood foot crossing, on a Marylebone - Aylesbury service.
Towards the end of their careers, DMU sets were thrown together with whatever was available. DMS number W51141 was allocated to Laira, but the centre car M59387 (class 108) and DMBS M53071 (class 116) were officially still Tyseley based when seen at Temple Meads on 14th May 1993.
40079 at rest in the Boxing Day winter sun at Longsight on Wed 26th December 1984.
The whistler saw in the New Year but time was running out as it was withdrawn on 21st January 1985.
In fact, this may be my last photo of a 40 in service (excluding the 974xx ones).. :(
The Sovremenny class destroyer is the principal anti-surface warship of the Russian Navy. The Soviet designation for the class was Project 956 Sarych (Buzzard).
Its primary role is to attack enemy warships while also providing sea and air defense for warships and transports under escort. It complements the Udaloy-class destroyers in anti-submarine operations.
It was used in the sovjet navy, later until today in the russian navy and China bought some vessels too, which are still in use there.
Have a look at the complete album.
03 078 at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Before the demise of wagonload freight, even some relatively small stations had a shunting loco, this example being for shunting Tweedmouth yard. The 03 class was once a common sight in eastern England where duties were less onerous and would not justify a more powerful 08. Seen on 2 June 1984.
Poetry Class.
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)
Sitting on the floor of the first day of class.
So this is how you learn to become a poet?
I wait none the less for the arrival of the teacher /guru.
Call him or her what you may.
Wow I have to come here 3 times a week.
3 hours per class.
O well if that is what it takes to become a poet.
So many rules.
On how not only how to write a simple sentence.
But how to compose a poem,
After listening to all the rules on how to write a poem.
I forget what I wanted to say.
You have to put a period here.
Capitalize this letter.
So many writing rules.
and this is only in the first few minutes of class.
I excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
Only to never return again,
I quickly head down to a local watering hole.
To hang around the true poets,
of the true world,
With mud and dirt still on their hands.
I don't want to read the Whitmans,
the Byrons,
What the hell is a Chaucer?
The new poets that now sit with me,
ask with whiskey on the collective breaths,
so how was poetry class?
I say with blood shot eyes ,
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)
