2 March 2008 Running about 40 minutes late, 57312 leads 390001 on 1B01 at Soulbury Road passing 66015 shut down on an engineers train, one of 5 between here and Linslade.

4 March 2008 An afternoon of sunny intervals and cloud sees 92037 just catching the sun on a delayed 4H24 to Trafford Park.

4 March 2008 The shot I really wanted in sun! Loadhaul liveried 60059 on the Willesden-Tunstead cement empties approaching Soulbury

4 March 2008 Just a few minutes later and perfect conditions for 66727 on 4M23, even if I did take the shot on ISO 800 by accident!

4 March 2008 At least the sun stayed out for 0Z37. 37038 worked from Norwich to Crewe and collected 47802 from Wembley.

4 March 2008 Taken about 100yards further south, 90042 with the Felixstowe-Trafford Park liner. A wider angle shot here will bring the dreaded security fencing into shot.

6 March 2008 A brief visit to Bradwell on a dark morning for the late running sleeper. 66542 with the Crewe-Thamesport liner just after 10am.

6 March 2008 Running around 200 minutes late, 90021 hauls the 1M16 Inverness - Euston sleeper through Bradwell. The train was delayed due to overhead line damage around Lockerbie, but following 4O86 through Northampton didn't help!

6 March 2008 False Alarm! The barriers descended at Woburn Sands and I assumed the 60 was on its way. Instead DR73271 heads for Forders!

6 March 2008 60052 making a repeat appearance on 6H72 Bletchley-Peak Forest, following close behind 153371 on the 10:59 Bletchley-Bedford.

6 March 2008 The Crewe-Southampton has never loaded well, but recently has been completely empty as seen behind 66579 at Bletchley. 4L93 waits in the loop.

6 March 2008 Almost half the 350s are now in LM colours, but hybrid unit 350108 (still reformed with a car from 350105) remains in the old grey livery on the 1209 Northampton-Euston.

6 March 2008 With the Desiro departed, 66503 pulls away with the 4L93 Lawley Street-Felixstowe.

6 March 2008 153371 has replaced 153334 on the branch and awaits departure from Bletchley with the 12:59 to Bedford. A 150 (currently 150124) remains on the alternate service which carries heavier school traffic.

6 March 2008 Almost bowled by the departure of 350121, I have had to heavily crop this picture of 313042 returning to Hornsey following crash repairs at Wolverton. Interestingly the number and logos are covered, just as they were when it arrived by road.

9 March 2008 Not the shot I had intended due to on track excavators around Chelmscote, but a different view of 57308 approaching Stoke Hammond with 1B01.

10 March 2008 The Coventry - Wembley is very variable in its timings. With a short formation it passes Soulbury Road at 10.45 about 2.5 hours early behind 66122

11 March 2008 A visit to Old Linslade for the first Cheltenham Race special produced 92001 on 4A27 from Trafford Park to Wembley.

11 March 2008 The Cheltenham Race special operated on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday this week with Wednesday's train cancelled due to the gales and cancellation of the racing. 67005 leading with 67006 on the rear on 1Z21.

12 March 2008 66540 in charge of the Daventry - Felixstowe at Wolverton

12 March 2008 60021 followed with the 6A15 Bescot-Forders, though sadly the sun didn't hold.

12 March 2008 A second attempt for 60021 in sun was equally unsuccessful! 60021 heads for Forders at Ridgmont.

13 March 2008 A rare pair of green 90's. 90016 leads 90041 on 4M45 at Linslade.

13 March 2008 56303 catches the sun on 4M60 from Grain to Trafford Park. Sadly still with not a box in sight.

13 March 2008 The 6M11 Grain - Daventry normally loads well, but yesterday's gales mean a virtually empty train behind 66011.

13 March 2008 For a while the down slow and up fast were closed. 390041 heads for Euston under caution behind a 321.

13 March 2008 325004 and 325005 on the 1F00 Willesden - Warrington. The last vehicle lacks the Royal Mail logo and any coach ID.

13 March 2008 92013 on 4A27 in the hazy morning sun.

13 March 2008 86622 in charge of a fully loaded 4L41 Daventry-Felixstowe at Old Linslade.

13 March 2008 The Race Special was also on the fast. 67006 leads 1Z21 to Cheltenham a few minutes down at 9.05.

13 March 2008 67005 on the rear of 1Z21. As in previous years the train returns via the GWML.

14 March 2008 Sadly a poorly loaded train this morning. 86622 with 4L41 at Soulbury Road.

14 March 2008 67005 and 67006 on the 1Z21 Euston-Cheltenham at Soulbury Road.

14 March 2008 Class 86 activity in daytime has been very limited but Friday saw two pairs. 86627 and 86612 were working a 4Z81 Basford Hall-Tilbury at Wolverton

14 March 2008 6A51 in its booked path behind 66146 at Wolverton

14 March 2008 The WFO Bescot-Forders today in the hands of 66070.
