Another view of the NMT on the sea wall last Friday. A couple sit gazing out to sea, oblivious to its passing, whilst a runner has paused her run to capture it

Is there a finer place to watch trains than the Teignmouth sea wall?

I find Loughborough Central a wonderful place to photograph.. D6700 waits to lead the next southbound train, whilst 37714 waits to depart with the mixed freight at the recent diesel gala

Tulyar hiding at Loughborough during the recent diesel gala…
So pleased to hear she has had her first test run today - can’t wait for the proper return to service - last time for me would have been around 1987 at the SVR!

I’ve never been a gan of the Meridians or Voyagers for that matter, but 222601 in the new Lumo livery looks stunning - seen here powering through Cheddington with 5Z00 Stirling to London Euston

Having had 45118 through a few minutes earlier, the early start also yielded 37175 and 37425 on an overnight 3Q66 Norwich to Derby RTC - not a bad 15 minutes on the WCML!

For me, this was the main attraction. I had never seen a Hymek move under its own power until this. I’ve been missing out on opportunities to see this one at the GCR so I was super pleased to get several runs in behind it, before finishing off with a nice freight

Tulyar looks fantastic… I can’t wait to see her running again - my last trip behind Tulyar was on the SVR in the late 80s….
