507001 has been located! Unfortunately today (as of the current moment) it's in New Brighton sidings, taking a bit of a rest. It does make for an exellent photo opportunity however, especially with the other PEPs on the New Brighton line.

Unfortunately my plan to get another run on 43007/43184 has not worked, but a HST is a HST, so here's 43366 and 43378 through the tunnels into Sheffield station this morning, working 1V50 from Edinburgh to Plymouth.

91109 as far as Peterborough this evening, which I only just managed to catch, due to my delay into Euston. Unfortunately for me the heavens opened as I was walking down the Euston Road, so some very rainy shots of the locomotive.

An LNER Intercity 225 set in Platform 3 at Newark Northgate, a sight which was once a fairly common and now extremely rare. 1A13, as operated by 91110 and NL17, looped this morning to allow a delayed Edinburgh to pass through on Platform 2.
