My morning trip from Lowdham to Leicester, with a change of
trains at Long Eaton, provided route mileage that was new to me in the form of
the short west to south curve at Trent Junction, though I realise that this might be
of only marginal interest elsewhere. As it happened, the Class 222 express from
Sheffield to St Pancras was absolutely rammed, due to the cancellation of the
previous service, so it was standing room only all the way to Leicester.
UK Rail Leasing’s depot held Class 68 No. 68026 in the yard with Class 56 No. 56098 just visible from the platform and peeking out from the shed behind. The highlight for me yesterday, however, was the unexpected arrival of Class 59 No. 59004 Paul A Hammond, which was heading south, light engine.
