5Q80 Allerton – Newport Docks. The Class 319 was heading to the scrap yard. Fortunately 172343 on a train heading towards Birmingham cleared in plenty of time. Pity the Class 37 was just ambling along, a few minutes early & following a stopping train.

Couldn’t make it for the Class 37 yesterday but managed to film the 20s on 0Z20 from the SVR to Butterley. They apparently moved a railvac from Butterley to Bescot later in the day, then ran light to Tyseley.

43306 & 43320, also 68015. Rowley Regis, 12/11/23.

43306 & 43320 on a test run from the SVR. After running to Worcester earlier in the day they are seen here on 0Z44 Worcester TC – Tyseley sidings. The train following it was a Chiltern London train. I wasn’t sure if it would be a unit or a 68 set as RTT showed no unit/loco number, but as you will see it was 68015.

Wythall Bus Museum. 29/10/23. Part 6.

I’ve managed to find some “photos” for the final part of my visit to the museum. Using a camcorder the obvious thing is to record moving objects but I filmed various vehicles parked outside the museum and cropped a few frames to make some photos. I won’t list registrations here but have added them to the images.

The larger photos can be viewed in my photo gallery, obviously no video with this post but you can have a quick look through the photos further down the page.

Making the most of decent weather and some trains to see, another visit to Kidderminster. Filling in time with the unit, but always hoping the train from Bewdley would appear in the background as I was filming, but not this time.
