Well, here we go again, another year...

While I don't expect there will be much activity for the first couple of months, there are members amongst us who work on the railway or have essential reasons to travel... so the usual thread is here, ready and waiting.

Here we go.

195107 is my first proper train of the year, and a winner.

On my journey to work.

Just passed 66171 at Brewery Junction - first loco sight of the year. Not a winner.

And another one bites the dust!

Currently aboard penultimate 150/1, 150108, which is happily towing 150116 down to Manchester, whilst transporting me to another 3-11 shift.

Northern must have a sympathetic allocations sprite this week, with 195115 being today's winner.

On a similar note to @D841 Roebuck , Northern have very kindly sent out 195105 for my train home from work, clearing the 3 car 195s.

331031 is this morning's winner leaving just 1 331 to get. Saw it was working the train behind mine on the way to work, so figured it'd be rude not to bail at Occy Road and get it.

And, totally unexpectedly, the 2319 to Leeds was 2 car instead of 3 tonight. Still made it an outside shot, but 158789 decided to impersonate Foinavon to become a very jammy second winner of the day.

So that leaves 158869 to join 150123 as the last of each class required on Northern.

Real Time Trains showed the 1351 to Victoria with double winners 195020 and 195024. It would have been churlish not to take advantage, and I'm not churlish...

Not normally noteworthy, but my homebound streetcars , 3064 and 3086, were new for 2021, meaning I've now traveled on or coupled to 50% of the fleet in 2021...

Today's commute, according to RTT, should have been solo and dud 195008. Rather a good wheeze when it turned up with winner 195011 as tail gunner :)

Rather jealous of you steaming ahead while the rest of us are housebound ;) You can bet I'll be catching up as soon as it's safe and legal though!

Nice way to end the week, 150123 leading dud 150137 on the 1409 to MCV. That's the 150/1 cleared

Had to go into Manchester a couple of hours earlier today, in order to join the Astra Zeneca Club.

195132 was provided by the Northern roster team for the 1151 - cheers!

Ahh, my first ever cleared class. I looked for 012 for ages :lol:

Before yesterday, my 159 mileage was between 0 miles (159013) and 903 miles (159108). Strange how I could chalk up nearly a thousand miles on one unit, yet nothing on another. Luck of the draw I suppose.

My first cleared class for haulage was 153s. And now I have 159s. Wonder if I should try 156s.

Agreed there, my mileage for them ranges from 2312 miles (159012) to 4151 miles (159008)

153s are harder to do than the 156s considering the wide range of operators they have worked for.

By pure chance I was on this working, thanks to a WMR service being cancelled, so I waited a bit longer for a GWR service home instead. 13 802/0s had now, bring on the day I get to do some more!

EDIT: Added 170533 as I thought I had had it in 2020, but my notes say differently. An unexpected winner, happy days! 530, 531 and 534 remain to be had, have I read correctly that they have gone to EMR?
