"UD" recalls the following...
"My first summer Saturday out `on the bash` of the year.
I went out blind after 1E83 hoping for something useful, but after a 31/4
turned up,
I cut my losses by bailing at Long Eaton and headed off
to New Street. Here I got word of a couple of 45/0's and half a dozen
NB 47's.
that I wanted and worked out a set of moves spread out
over eight hours to get them all in. I felt sure something would
go wrong. Off 1E28 I hoped to make a -3 at Derby for 1O86, but didn't,
(31465 on time - load 8) thankfully the 1440 dmu ex Nottingham was late
and right behind it,
so I caught up with 1O86 at New street and after a desperate
dash across the bridge and just made it with seconds to spare.
More `Bus stop` moves between New street and the
NEC than I would have liked, but it just had to be done to get the stuff i wanted.
That days moves in full:"
