Yesterday a Bongo, today a Black Five! Yesterdays southward move of 61306 to Southall was only half of the job. Her crew had to today bring 45231 back to Crewe via the same route. The 5MT had moved south with "Sir Nigel Gresley" a few weeks before Christmas (post here) and today was returning home after the B1 took her place at Southall. Above, 45231 "Sherwood Forester" creeps steadily along the down goods line at Northampton as she approaches a red signal where she'd be held for other services to pass her. Sadly the sun was in totally the wrong place (unlike yesterday afternoon when the B1 called by) and so the shot of 45231 is a little blurred from the glare. After sidling steadily past, 45231 disappeared northward. Cheers all, Sam...Please note that the above image was taken from land outside of the NR boundary fence.

Happy belated new year Sam.
I'm glad you're keeping the blog posts going. I know no one else seems to comment, but I enjoy reading them!
Great to hear from you, Phil. Glad you're still reading. I do get comments from people in person when there is content missing for a while but people rarely comment on the blog itself. Glad you're still enjoying it. It's turned into a bit of a diary for me as I forget so much these days and it's nice to look back and remember! Cheers mate, Sam.
