66426 brings its load towards the end of its destination at Barby Nortoft on the 4th of February 2009. This is 4M34 04:38 Coatbridge-Crick. It still amazes me that people still have difficulty spelling Crick, as I often see it starting with a 'D' and ending in a 'y'!!!

90043 in charge of 4L75 11:24 Crewe BH-Felixstowe approaches Long Buckby on the 4th of February 2009. The lack of boxes on the front of the train does at least show the remains of the snow in the fields behind!

Despite once spending a great deal of my 'work-time' in the southern parts of Warwickshire/Northern Oxfordshire area over the last 10 years, this is has greatly reduced over the last 3-4 months, as most of my work commitments are now solely around Northampton. However, an opportunity to visit a client on part of my old patch in Knightcote on the 13th of February presented me with an opportunity to photograph something on the way at Holmes House Farm, Bishops Itchington. The morning was getting on, and I only had a small 'window' of time to capture anything other than a voyager! Despite three trains going in the wrong direction, I had to settle for an ex-vermin in the end, and as the sun had really got too far round. I`d like to say that it almost made getting my shiney shoes muddy seem worthwhile, but I`d be kidding myself, of course......... Oh this is 220016 if anyone is at all interested. I can`t say that I am............

A frustrating time at Barby Nortoft on the 27th of February 2009. The only train not to be troubled by any clouds was this dusty bin, 321424!
