[23/07/20] An hour session at Burbage Common.

July 25, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

A short session at Burbage Common, which as many of you will know (or should know anyway ;)) is my local line side location. The main reason for coming here was the movement of MKIII coaches from Long Marston to Castle Donington, which had been previously used by Transport for Wales (Trafnidiaeth Cymru), as well as 37421 returning to Derby RTC with inspection saloon; 975025 Caroline. An earlier photograph had shown that the Class 37 was propelling the saloon vehicle (powering from the rear) on it's outward trip from Derby RTC to Crewe, taking in Leicester, Nuneaton and the West Coast Mainline to Crewe via Stafford, so therefore an assumption was that the Class 37 would be leading on the return trip. Needless to say it wasn't to be.....

Seen, in order, were:

 

  • 15:12 66754 4L04 Hams Hall - Felixstowe.
  • 15:19 66730 4M29 Felixstowe - Birch Coppice.
  • 15:20 47813 + 47815 5M56 Long Marston - Castle Donington.
  • 15:25 975025 + 37421 5Z89 Derby RTC - Derby RTC via Crewe and the WCML.
  • 15:26 66619 6V54 Radlett - East Usk Yard.
  • 15:53 66749 4L07 Birch Coppice - Felixstowe.
     

[CONSIST] 5M56 12:37 Long Marston - Castle Donington EMDC.

 

47813 Jack Frost.

47815 Lost Boys 68-88.

12185, 12182, 12184, 12183, 12181, 12178, 12177, 12179, 12180, 12176, 10249.

 

Cheers, James
