"A Saturday in Anglia for me that started with an East Coast overnight.  At Nottingham whilst I was waiting  for the train to get over to Grantham a group of yobbos flooded the platform with water from the fire hydrant!  47413  Grantham to Doncaster,   1S72 2230 Kings Cross - Edinburgh  08745  Doncaster shunt, 1D57 0050 Leeds - Kings Cross  onto 2255  Newcastle - KX  55010  Doncaster to Retford,   1E35 2025 Edinburgh - Kings Cross  31217  Retford to Doncaster,   1L00 0110 Kings Cross - Leeds  Planned move was upset by late running and I had to let the class 40 that turned up on my planned train  go in favour of an HST in order to get over to Anglia!  HST Doncaster to Peterborough  DMU Peterborough to Cambridge  Not many 'new engines' and plenty of move repetition but an enjoyable day for me nonetheless.  37011  Cambridge to Great Chesterford,  2L63 1039 Cambridge - Liverpool Street  37014  Great Chesterford to Cambridge, 2L80 1005 Liverpool Street - Cambridge  31108  Cambridge to Ely,   1L14 1036 Liverpool Street - Kings Lynn  31208  Ely to Cambridge,   1L27 1130 Kings Lynn - Liverpool Street  37014  Cambridge to Great Chesterford,  2L65 1230 Cambridge - Liverpool Street  31160 Great Chesterford to Cambridge,   2L82 1205 Liverpool Street - Cambridge  37102 Cambridge to Ely,    1L18 1236 Liverpool Street - Kings Lynn  31108 Ely to Cambridge,    1L31 1330 Kings Lynn - Liverpool Street  31160 Cambridge to Whittlesford,   2L67 1439 Cambridge - Liverpool Street  31262 Whittlesford to Cambridge,   2L84 1405 Liverpool Street - Cambridge  37090 Cambridge to Ely,   1L22 1436 Liverpool Street - Kings Lynn  37102 Ely to Cambridge,   1L35 1600 Kings Lynn - Liverpool Street    Train back from Audley End failed and I was stranded for over an hour and that meant I missed my  move home via Peterborough.  I was able to get my ticket re-validated for travel via London to  Birmingham but the move left only seven minutes to get from Kings Cross to Euston.  31160 and 31207 Audley End to Cambridge,  1L30 1736 Liverpool Street - Cambridge  DMU Cambridge to Stevenage  47526 Stevenage to Kings Cross,   1A32 1743 Cleethorpes - Kings Cross    I arrived at Euston one minute before the train was due to depart after a frantic run from the Cross.  It took me to almost Rugby to recover from that!  87025 Euston to Birmingham NS, 1G47 2140 Euston - Wolverhampton" Andrew Wilson's moves were... "31186 between Bradford and Leeds    1V71 6.51    Bradford - Penzance   47534 between Leeds and Wakefield  1V71 6.51    Bradford - Penzance (booked re-engine to 47/4 at Leeds)   Unit   between Wakefield and Leeds   47519 between Leeds and York   1E00 7.05    Liverpool - York/Newcastle?   37036 between York and Selby   1P14 8.35    Newcastle - Yarmouth   Unit between Selby and Leeds   37010 between Leeds and Huddersfield 1M66 9.35   Newcastle - Blackpool   47519 between Leeds and Dewsbury  1M26          York/Newcastle - Liverpool    47460 between Dewsbury and Leeds  1E99  13.05 Liverpool - York/Newcastle    47015 between Leeds and Sheffield  1V97 16.38  Leeds - Bristol   46007 between Sheffield and Leeds  1E63  11.35 Poole -Leeds   31281 between Leeds and Bradford  1E21  10.26 Penzance - Bradford (booked re-engine to 31 at Leeds)" Andrew17 states...

'UD' recalls... "On this day I did a Charter from Stoke to York and back with 47440 throughout, both ways via Stockport,  Guide Bridge, Stalybridge and Leeds and VV on the return.    I also remember this being a warm day?  Other than that I appear to have lost my notes for this date - A tempory situation I hope, and if that is  the case I'll add more here later..."
