After three previously thwarted trips to the line, I was hit with more bad luck here at Bishops Itchington. However, I was determind to photograph something, even if it was a Plastic cattle truck! 3rd September 2009

 47727 and 47739 pass Holmes House Farm on the 3rd of September with 6Z48 Burton-Dollands Moor. The train was running rather late at this point, so I had to settle for this alternative location.

On Saturday the 5th of September 2009, I came to Hatton for a Railtour, and also hoped to capture a freightliner while I was here. Despite being there being a very clear sky when I left home, a bank of clouds had started to build up, and as I hate to go home with nothing, an 'at least I got a shot of something' plan was enforced, so here is 168005 as it heads south.

It looked like the sun at Hatton was not going to play for us, but it 'just about' managed to clear some thick cloud in time as 'Slim Jim' 33207 appeared with 1Z37 06:45 Worksop-Claydon Junction, via Marylebone, on the 5th of September 2009. I would have been disappointed had 37516 been heading the railtour, but fortunately for me, the growler was at the rear of the train.

86614 and 86639 approach Long Buckby with 4L92 14:03 Ditton-Felixstowe, and running about 25 minutes early at this point, which is a bonus with the light! 8th September 2009. Yes, I went home happy again!

'Hired-in' 47848 and 47839 approach Aynho Junction with 6Z48 13:05 Burton on Trent-Dollands Moor on the 10th of September 2009. While the Colas 47s may look colourful in their yellow and orange colours, it is, unfortunately, a truly hideous livery! The simple Blue livery used by Riviera trains, although similar to BR Blue, is much more pleasing to the eye!

Double Grid! I was waiting patiently at Nortoft for 56312, when I get a message to say the working today was a pair!!! A quick change of location was required, so a quick dash up the M1, then M6, and local roads to Easenhall, followed by a frantic run across the fields, meant I was just able to capture 56312 and 56311 with 4Z91 12:00 Dollands Moor-Hams Hall. Thanks AC for my much needed exercise!!

As the sun and clouds play silly buggers, another shot of 56311 with 'Knight of The Thistle', 'John O`Gaunt', 'Britannia' (Which has actually been re-united with her nameplates) and 86401 'Northampton Town.' It is beleieved that the 86 will be tripped to Wembley for use as a carriage heater, while the 87`s are on their way for use in Bulgaria. Better than the scrap yard I suppose.........

So, after missing 66152 on the water due to being stuck behind the slowest car in the world, being unlucky with 60049, not getting a shot of 86501 due to a shrub that decided to obstruct my view, I was not having a good day! However, I decided not to waste my walk down to Watford village, and took this shot of 350105 as it heads towards Northampton. 22nd September 2009.

The freights were playing 'vampires' again today, only passing by under the cover of darkness provided by the clouds! All I have to show for today is 350246 heading south past Church Brampton. 25th September 2009.........
