A little trip oooop north today to travel on some proper trains.
Early start from New St on the 0701 Liverpool service as far as Crewe as a means to avoid too much time spent on tilting filth. Unfortunately said filth had to be had from Crewe to Lancaster to enable getting all 4 37s in
37402 was had from Lancaster to Preston and here she is on arrival

37218 did the honours up to Barrow

Was a few minutes late into Barrow so the charge of the light brigade down the underpass to jump on 37606 to Carlisle. Well not so much charge of the light brigade. More the charge of the middle aged balding men with beer bellies and expensive cameras!!
606 performed well and here she is on arrival at Carlisle

Before jumping back on and taking 409 for some bus stop mileage to Dalston

While at Carlisle a pot noodle maker appeared on a charter to Lancaster

Then some more tilting filth avoidance back to Brum on a 350/4 and Voyager
Was illuminating to hear normal passengers comments about the loco hauled stock. Some even saying these new trains are lovely!!
