June 2009

31st May 2009

Well with half the year nearly gone, the second half is for me the better with longer days nicer weather and more charters and gala's to cover which really is the only thing of any quality to keep us going the down turn in regular mainline traffic and the end of Z43-44 their is very little to offer in terms of traction unless ya like differant liveried 66's

June starts with another massive trip Marshy and Myself are doing Long Marston Openday travelling to London by coach and then forward from Euston on a charter.
90029 worked Euston - Nuneaton where 66060 worked Nuneaton - Long Marston via Birmingham New Street and Stourbridge
66060 returned from Long Marston due to technical problems at Kidderminster we get diverted via Bromsgrove and my first trip over the Lickey onto Birmingham New Street for a non stop pass through a station heavily bottle necked and north towards Stafford where 90029 took over the the fast run back to London arriving 3 mins down

June also brings KWVR Gala this year, Wensleydale Railway are having a diesel loco running day on 21st which should see the newly arrived class 20 in action.
Some charters to be had locally June should be another active month for the lads.
June brought back some tractor action on Teesside bringing 37218 and 37607 and 37516 Welcome Back to Teesside Massive thanks to Steve Brown for the flying lifts covering the workings a cheers to Marshy for the laughs along the way
