NEW Added 3 November 2024 - London (29/30 October 2024)
A second night in London, which started with a few random Underground pictures, followed by the sleeper at Paddington and a few buses, before getting into position for a battery loco finale. For this latter part, I had a cunning plan; there were four engineering trains due, the first of which was ahead of the last eastbound Piccadilly Line service, so could be done in a tube station. I then wanted to get at least one of the other trains going through Turnham Green (also where I had left my car), but looking at the timings, this would probably mean flagging the second train. I chose Gloucester Road for the first train and after taking the picture, I was horrified to see the next westbound train was a wait of 10 minutes. I rushed upstairs and quickly got a westbound District Line service. At Earl's Court I checked where the second train was, it was at Ealing Common, maybe I could intercept it at Barons Court. Upon arrival at Barons Court, the second engineering train was at Stamford Brook, so I risked it to Hammersmith where I arrived about a minute before the engineering train. This was captured and about a minute or two later, the train that was 10 minutes away when I tried to leave Gloucester Road rolled in and I boarded it for Turnham Green. I suspect this train would have blocked the second engineering train at Barons Court, so probably a good shout staying on to Hammersmith. Upon arrival at Turnham Green, I checked to find that the third engineering train was at Chiswick Park, and a minute or so later it rolled through. I then stayed put for the fourth train which followed about 10 minutes later.

NEW Added 3 November 2024 - London (28/29 October 2024)
A few days working away moving 701s round Wimbledon Depot gave me the opportunity to go out in London in the evenings and grab a few Underground pictures finished off with a couple of battery locos at Ravenscourt Park.

NEW Added 3 November 2024 - Peterborough and Darn Sarf (24 October 2024)
The day started at Peterborough for a grab shot of the Rail Adventure power cars taking a pair of new Tyne & Wear Metro trains north. Then it was away down south for some RHTT action around Wimbledon and Tonbridge. There were a few other bonuses including various units and 'Clan Line' on the Pullmans.
