I am currently in the middle of adding almost a month's worth of sightings!
Waiting with bated breath. I miss Headcodes Info as so many others would, I presume. Pity the Webmaster couldn't have provided any pre-warning rather than keeping people in the dark.

Apologies! At 7.30ish I'll get round to uploading them.

In the meantime, 175104 was on the 0830 Manchester to Milford Haven today!

Good evening!

At last, here are ALL of my sightings for January!

Spotted at Ipswich on Sat 1st Feb at around 11:30 were 86610 and 86632. No idea what the working was but it terminated very close by as the two locos ran light engine to the yard next to Ipswich station fairly soon after. They were hauling a large load of containers and left under a single yellow and number 6 feather out of platform 3.

This thread was only created after "Headcodes.info" went down at end of November. As it is now up and running again, is there any point in this thread continuing. +A disadvantage, however, has been highlighted though in that "Headcodesinfo" shows passenger trains only.

I think it is, but that's purely because I love to list my personal sightings. Headcodes is anonymous and I've started to have a nice new layout!

Ooh, that reminds me, I must upload my sightings from yesterday.

This thread was started for reasons I completely can't recall at this time in late October. However, I don't really mind who does and doesn't use this thread.

It's up to you lot and the mods if this thread is deemed necessary, I only poke my head in now and again to see if people still look at it :p

Yes. I remember now. The OP thought it might be a good idea to introduce a thread and I posted to say of the existence of "Headcodes.info". Just after that "Headcodes.info" went down. I find there is more posted on "Headcodes.info" with just a handful of the same people using this thread.

The OP being me ;):p

Let's just let the thread carry on and if it dies a death through no-one posting then it'll get locked anyway.
