Saw this whilst on a bike ride around the Hamstead area on the Isle of Wight. The word 'felling' wasnt visible making this sign stating rather the obvious!

A throw back from the LNWR days of Hamstead station is this platform water hydrant which countless passengers have wandered over in the 100 plus years the station has been open. Captured here with a late running 66424 heading 4E49 Daventry to Doncaster i-Port Tesco company train rattling through. Taken for the P&ARP 112th Assignment and apologies to those that have seen a similar angle before.

This chap seemed bemused that the 12:18 to Wolverhampton didn't stop at Hamstead, he'd have been disappointed with the passenger accommodation onboard 319373 that's for sure although maybe pleased with a bit of 37 haulage. For reference 5Q76 11:06 Crewe South Yard to Newport Sims, farewell to 50% of the Orion fleet, 37800 up front.

I would have seen 60054 on 6B33 Theale to Robeston following this but it was changed at late notice to 6Z33 and sent via Didcot unfortunately. No idea why?

LSL's ScotRail push pull set is certainly clocking up the miles of late. Seen here with 47712 Lady Diana Spencer propelling DBSO 9707 towards Hamstead station in the Birmingham suburbs working 5Z47 Crewe H.S. to Kidderminster S.V.R.

56091 Driver Wayne Gaskell is wound up to the max as it approaches Hamstead station with 6Z56 Chaddesden Sidings to Willesden DCR Sidings. Thanks to Rob for the heads up on this working.

English Electric Type 4 (Class 40) No. D213 (40013) 'Andania' whistles through Hamstead while heading the LSL Chairman's Train, 1Z21 0902 London Euston - Kidderminster SVR on 6th April 2023. This was the opening leg of an easter weekend private charter to Devon & Cornwall. The train had earlier been hauled from Euston to Bescot Up & Down Goods Loop by LSL Class 90 No. 90001 'Royal Scot'. Before heading to the south west, D213 was booked to take the train to Llandudno later in the day for an overnight stop. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved

Due to a Desiro bringing down the wires near Brinklow, all WCML traffic was diverted through Birmingham up to 15:00. Flying through Hamstead, 90039 heads south with 0A06 Crewe ETMD to Wembley EFOC.
