The first train I aimed for was the 11:00 Shackerstone-Shenton, which was to be fronted by 56040. Here is......... 33019 heading the train as it passes Market Bosworth on the 20th of September 2009.

31130 (31276????) and 31101 working 12:00 Shackerston-Shenton. 20th September 2009

At least I`ll have a second attempt at 56040 as it was also to head the 13:00 Shackerstone-Shenton. Well, it`s a grid, but 56086. It`s a real shame that the BR double arrows have been so poorly applied, being totally the wrong dimensions and thicknesses etc. This detracts from an otherwise magnificent looking locomotive. I suppose I could also moan about those silly advertisement headboards too, but then you`d all think I`m miserable, and I`m really not!!

The lovely 47640 was due next with the 14:15 Shackerstone-Shenton, and after approximately 20 minutes after it was due.... my dear Oystermouth finally makes an appearance, albeit sandwiched between 'super-fat logo' and 73114! So, no leading 56040, and no 47! I decided to give up at this point! 20th September 2009

Well, not quite........... Back at Shackerstone Station, 73114 has taken its position in readiness for the 15:45 departure to Shenton, as 56040 (with EXTRA LARGE logo 56086 out of view) carefully take up their positions. 20th September 2009.
