An unidentified Class 25 heads towards Northwich during the winter of 1981-82. Amazing to think that heavy trains like these were entrusted to a single Type 2.

DRS Class 68 Loco. 68014 at Greenhill Jct. crossing onto the low level, with working 487Y Inverness to Mossend with a Tesco, Less CO2 freight train.
Although,at the time of this picture,they were still "Brush Type 4s".Not great quality,but interesting - an unidentified loco with an express at Swindon in,I think,1967.Notice the yellow destination plates on the coaching stock.
I thought the last of these things, employed by London Overground, had been withdrawn the previous weekend. But apparently not, as a coupled pair were still in use on Saturday 10th October.
This is Liverpool Street. Having just arrived from Enfield it was about to depart for Chingford.

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 on the right the Victorian station architecture. Stowmarket station date back to 1846.

My first business class in-flight meal!
In business class, you get to pick options from a menu, and there are separate appetizers and a main course!
This appetizer had crab meat, and it was quite good! The breakfast eggs were kinda gross though. :P

This must be the last time I saw a class 120 in operational service. I think this was on its way from Blackpool and heading for Manchester Victoria. Preston 29th April 1986.
I can't resist a class 110. Seen here working a Leeds to Sheffield local train, this is a Hornby model.
The unit represents the class on its last legs, and wears the blue and grey colours of BR and the MetroTrain logos of the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive.
It must be a damp day as the passengers appear to have steamed up the windows.
A typical 'Auchlander' shot. Great composition depicting the down line being replaced in the early 1980's.
I have been taking photos of Britain's railways for about 40 years. Taking this photo brought a new experience. A woman in a uniform asked me if I had permission to take photos here. I replied I didn't know I needed permission. She told me I was not allowed to take a picture. WTF? If I had gone lineside a mile up the track and photographed the same locomotive what's the difference? Anyway here it is, the picture I wasn't allowed to take.
