Really?

Really?

Genuinely interested if there is a reason why I wouldn't have scored it? Will re-check notes later in case of typo though..

Two reasons I'm interested if your report of 345025 is correct
* one is that I haven't seen it reported in service yet, but clearly it could be - it certainly does appear to have been tested west side
* there is a unit berthed at Plumstead with the headcode 5Y25 (along with 5Y49, 5Y50 and 5Y53) and has been since 20 April. The use of 5Yxx or 9Yxx headcodes has previously been a good indication that the unit is 3450xx, although I could have been reading too much into that.

Apologies for the late reply. Yeah it was a typo and was 345023.

New tram!
3122 of the Metrolink (also becomes the 95th different Metrolink vehicle I've been powered by in 2021 - adds a degree of interest to my commute!)

Cleared for mileage requirements

Took full advantage of the rare chance to sample 387s at full power on the temporary Swindon to Paddington shuttles. From what I read in the GWR email this evening, they expect a more normal service to restart in the next few days.

So perhaps it's just as well I ended my 11 days off work on a train day! No chance was I cycling today in that weather! Also took advantage of the chance to do a Voyager between Swindon and Bristol Temple Meads via Chippenham, and while in the area I tried my luck on Chiltern. It wasn't in today, but it is what it is. To quote Dr Claw "Next time Gadget, next time!"

Also, kudos to GWR for the refurbishment of the GTi HSTs, I was very impressed. My first power door HST, and that felt weird but awesome in equal measure!

195010 returns from its holiday in Newton Heath's Naughty Siding (always seemed to be there, mocking me) and finally produces for the trip to work...

A day out in West Yorkshire produced the following:
331102
220015 + 220003 (last two required 220s running in a pair was most civilized of Cross Country to arrange )
802219
170460
170478
802216
195019
91106 (wasn't going to bother with LNER in view of their compulsory reservations nonsense, but a winning 91 had to be done)
311108

Decent day out, and back in time to watch the highlights of the Gyrating Italians...

I wonder if Mr Roebuck will be counting the reformed 150s (003-006) as on his list of requirements. Should be easy enough to pick off on the Rochdale stoppers
