29th October 2009 --- Today I caught the train up to the West Midlands before photographing several interesting workings. (Many thanks to DR) I firstly went to Kingsbury, photographing DB Schenker's EWS liveried 66059 which was working an early 6V40 Lackenby to Llanwern, followed by Freightliner's 66530 on the 4O54 Leeds to Southampton. I then photographed InterCity liveried 31454 hauled the 1Z06 Derby to Long Marston test train.With a number of freight flows and '47s' required, Colas Rail have recently been hiring in Riviera Trains locos. 47769, 47805, 47839 have all been used by Colas recently, adding her name to the list was Br Two Tone Green 47812 which worked the 6Z47 Dollands Moor to Small Heath returning as 6Z48 Burton to Dollands Moor on Thursday. I photographed the well missed sight of a Green machine on a freight train at Portway running slightly early. Prior to the steel working, I photographed 66037 on the 6M57 Lindsey to Kingsbury tanks and GBRf 66726 on hire to Fastline hauling the 4V09 Chaddesden to Portbury coal. Few minutes after the spoon, in the opposite direction came, DB 66135 on the 6D44 Bescot to Toton followed by DB Schenker's 60019 on the 6M82 Walsall to Tunstead cement.I then went back to Tamworth to photograph an unexpected surprise, a bizzare combination of two Scotrail skodas, 90021 and 90024 which paired up on the 4O10 Trafford Park to Southampton intermodal. I then went to Portway for 60084 working the 6E41 Westerleigh to Lindsey tanks. Back at Tamworth I could have got the 1548 train back but for I would make the most of the trip and stay on in the awkward conditions. As I am a big fan of 86s, I wanted to photograph 86614 and 86628 on the 4L92. I also photographed 90048 and 66542. A surprise 60045 on a diverted 6K50 Toton to Bescot and a fastline coal on the high level. Rounding off the day was 31233 in Bristol Temple Meads. Many thanks to DR and to all gen posters. Thankyou very much.
