Hi Folks,

Well after a few months of uncertainty, I am back out and about with my camera, my first location since March was Kilby Bridge Junction, main reason being to see a brand new Class 701; 701002 for South Western Railway being delivered from Derby Litchurch Lane to Eastleigh Works, with 66745 Modern Railways - The First 50 Years and 66740 Sarah doing the honours, running as 6X20 10:54 Derby Litchurch Lane - Eastleigh Works.. Eventually, South Western Railway will have 90 of these new units.

Other bits of note was that one of the former LNER HST sets were out, in this case, 43238 and 43318 working the St. Pancras International - Nottingham circuit as well as a couple more VP185 sets, which are in their final weeks of operation prior to withdrawal by East Midlands Railway. 

A Couple of HST consists.
