November 'non-starter'
11th November 2008 to 27th November 2008

Well November did eventually start, and I was able to take my first photo on the 11th day, but the month didn`t even get out of first gear! A truly dreadful month, with very few photos to show for my efforts..............

Due to work commitments, and also several days of dire weather, it wasn`t until the 11th of November until I captured my first railway photograph for the month!!! In the last of the light at Grange Farm, Northampton is 66413 which is working 4M71 11:25 Tilbury-Crick. At this rate, I just may end up with three photos before December............

 Still no sightings of the new 350/2 desiro units. One of the originals, 350109, is seen at Barby Nortoft as it makes its way south. 13th November 2008

The 18th of November 2008, and I was hoping to get one of the new 350/2 Desiros on test today, but it seems that the test runs were cancelled yet again. Here`s one of the older units, 350124 which is heading north past Church Brampton.

I came here for the 6H50 Willesden-Tunstead, but yet again, it was running considerably late. The sun was getting too low, and was only just on for 66533 which heads 4M88 08:49 Felixstowe-Crewe. Church Brampton 18th November 2008.

One of the new 350/2 Desiros on a test run.......(Well, that`s what I came for!) The scheduled passing at Weedon didn`t happen, so I took a photo of a Pendolino to make the trip seem not so much of a waste of time. 20th November 2008

 My luck isn`t getting any better..... I popped out to get 37712 with the Queen of Scots rake, and all I got was this Desiro unit, despite waiting for a good hour and a half!!! The location is Long Buckby on the 24th November 2008. The new livery for these units was revealed just over a year ago on the 12th of November 2007. All the 350 desiros are now in the new colours, but I`m yet to photograph one of the new 350/2 units operating under their own power...... At this rate, maybe by June 2009!!
