Thought I’d had a wasted journey, a second freight I’d hoped to see didn’t run and the 47s from Eastleigh weren’t showing as running on RTT but then I noticed them on a diagram in the loop at Dorridge. Had I been certain they were running I would’ve chosen a better location to film them. Numbers of trains below:-

With less to see and do at this time of year, I might be able to organise things a bit better and edit photos to upload at the same time as the video. I’ll see how it goes, no promises though!!
I was hoping to see an off lease HST working from Bristol to Ely, but RTT was down and I wasn’t sure whether it was running or not. If 6X01 also ran to time I could see it twice, Solihull worked out well but it left Dorridge loop early and before I could get there by train. Just a 66 and some units then for that outing.
