14 February 2008 An unidentified working of Metronet wagons heading for Wellingborough behind 66726.

14 February 2008 I had hoped to photograph 60013 on 6H55, but the Bletchley - Peak Forest returned via the WCML! No 60 on the Forders - Toton either, which was in the hands of 66105, although a pleasing short rake of six seacows.

14 February 2008 Another rake of seacows heading for Forders, 66603 is in charge of 6A21 from Bescot.

14 February 2008 60090 with the 6Z61 Bardon-Watford creeps up behind 319440. I really should have gone to the north end of the station and would have seen this coming!

18 March 2008 A busy couple of hours at Bromham started with 66607 on the 6M47 Bow-Croft Bardon empties

18 March 2008 66611 heads south with the 6M17 Croft-Neasden

18 March 2008 I had hoped to see both 60018 and 60039. This is 60018 on the 6F93 St Pancras-Ketton cement empties, but 60039 on the Forders - Toton didn't show.

18 March 2008 222012 heads for St Pancras at Bromham

1 April 2008 37423 passes Ampthill in a very lucky patch of sun, earlier in the day it had worked north via the ECML.

1 April 2008 Observing from the back of the saloon - a pleasant way to spend the day! Just how lucky I was with the sun on the previous two shots is shown by this going away shot.

1 April 2008 A few minutes later 66425 works north with the 6M79 Angerstein-Bardon empties on hire to Freightliner.

1 April 2008 222008 is one of the reformed Meridians having recent gained an extra coach.

1 April 2008 319460 heads south ECS, presumably from Cauldwell. Certainly not heading for Bedford as per the destination.
