Any grub I have and like will appear here.

Today I took 66 724 from Wembley Inter City Depot to Taunton.

We went to Fariford this year. It was the biggest air show of the year. I had intended to hire a small car for the weekend but when I got ot Enterprise they had upgraded me to an E class Merc!!!! So we travelled in style. Got to the show on Sat just as the F15 was starting. And left after the Red Arrows.

This week Ive been away doing the Concrete sleeper train from Reading to Taunton. Going down via Bath spa, Bristol, Bridgewater and back via the B&H(Castle Cary and Westbury). 66 703 was on it on monday. 66 703 was on it all week. On Friday I came back from Taunton light engine but came back via Bristol Temple Meads and Badmington.

On the 23rd of June I took 47 810 and 47 828 from Old Oak Common to Ashford Via Greenford,Kensington,East Croydon, Redhill and Tonbridge. This was the Blue Pullman doing a charter from Ashford to Kingswear. The following night I took it from Tonbridge to Folkestone East where thre train stabled.

on a very hot and humid afternoon, I sat on 6G12 at Tulse Hill. The loco`s were quite warm!!!!

We at GBRf now move 319`s and tow 317`s from Hornsey to Cricklewood. I have been lucky to do the first two moves for service trains. The pic`s were taken on sunday 20th May at Hornsey. we use the 319 to tow the 317 over the southern route. That is Willesden Jn HL to Farringdon via Kensington O, Factory Jn, Brixton, Elephant And Castle then on the Thameslink route to Cricklewood.

Using 66 706 I was gouing to move a FGW set from OOC to Ilford. I took the loco from Wembley to OOC then dragged the stock out to Kensal Green where 47 840 then took it to Ilford. I then returned the loco to Hoo Jn.

We started off on the 0659 Eurostar from Ashford to Lille Europe. Went to lille Flanders then back to Europe to catch the 11.00 to Gare De Nord on a Duplex set. We travelled in the upper bar car. Drinking 1664 all the way!!!!
Got to Paris Charles De gaulle Airport stn then the local to Gare De Nord. Took some piccys there then had lunch in paris. Went back to stn and after some time took the Thalys to Brussells. I would recomend the Thalys to anyons. Comfy seats,nice Train Managers!!!!
Spent the last 4 hours in Midi stn with a few beers in between. Got the 20.28 Eurostar back to Ashford. I would recomend going 1st class on the Eurostar as you can get very drunk on free booze.
