It's always nice to get a wave from the driver! In fact he waved at me on his way back as well! 47 727 "Edinburgh Castle" continues the summer of classic traction on the Chiltern Lines while storming through Northolt Park. Owned by GBRf who have just got this winters RHTT contract from Freightliner it was on driver training runs from Marylebone to Leicester and back throughout the day.
Now seemingly unused First Bradford DAF tow wagon A353TVV. Does anyone have any info as to its history? A quick Flickr search only brings up shots of it in this condition at Bradford depot...

New Adventure Travel, on loan to Metroline Manchester, LK55KMA DT901 seen in Stockport Interchange on driver training duties
While waiting for friends, I noticed on opentraintimes.com (5T01 Hillside to Sandhills Sdgs), which was 777010 doing some training. So I decided to take a photo of it arriving into Bootle New Strand.

Not noted for their reliability, Trent Barton disposed of their Optare Tempo X1200's prematurely in c2017.
However, two of the type (307 & 308) were retained for driver training duties, subsequently being renumbered 9307 and 9308.
Still functioning as a training bus in June 2023, 9307 is pictured descending Gin Close Way in Awsworth, Notts on 05th June 2023.
Leyland Atlantean / Park Royal 7921 was the only GMN training bus to receive the new training livery. It was practically the same as the old version but incorporated the dark grey window surrounds as per fleet livery. It was only a slight modification but effective nonetheless.

Queensland Rail 2470 class number 2490H in the lead and 2400 class number 2414 having finished their crew training runs leave Pinkenba Yard, Brisbane heading back to their depot at Mayne.
You may notice that the two locos are in different colour schemes. 2414 is in the original post corporatisation maroon colours, usually called the Bronco (football) livery although maroon is actually the state's colour. 2490H at the front is in the horrible black eagle livery. This was the livery in vogue during the time QR National was adopted as the new trading name for Queensland Railways as it ventured forth into the world operating trains in various parts of Australia. The Queensland Railways original livery post dieselisation was a lovely mix of mid blue, white, grey and canary yellow outlining.
When the freight arm of Queensland Rail was hived off to become publicly listed company Aurizon, a bright new yellow, red and grey livery was adopted (I think the jokers amongst the enthusiast fraternity called it the fruit salad livery). In recent years, this has been toned down to budget yellow or what is popularly known as pineapple livery. Strangely enough, after locomotives were split between the two companies and even to this day, many years down the track some locos of both companies wear both the liveries above although now getting much rarer on Aurizon. Both QR and Aurizon were highly successful in selling their withdrawn locos interstate and overseas and contractural obligations prevented potential and actual local operators from buying ex. Aurizon locos for their own use. Many headed to South Africa and other countries on the African continent, as well as SE Asia, South America and New Zealand and with those contract stipulations now having run out, a number have returned to Australia recently to operate with new owners and new colours so far in South Australia and Queensland. It is a tangled web we weave!
