November continued to produce another notable working in that Loco Services limited worked a scrap move from Laira i also got my penultimate Castle plate and the 2nd time a pair of 88's had worked the Bridgwater
Here is the the rest of October and Novembers and i know i have missed the most exciting thing in the last two months but i will have to try and find it on my phone
October 2022 sees the start of the RHTT season and this year finds 3S59 booked on certain days of the week to go to Highbridge Loop out via WSM and return along the avoider
Then there was the Peak tour that wasn't so a pair of 37's from LSL substituted and the rare 6M63 ran as well and the Exeter stone was diverted due to B&H being closed

After doing September on my last update i find a folder i hadn't done so have added it with the first of the RHTT's this season and as 3S59 has a change to its plan this year there should be some new shots possible
September has been a month with either not a lot around or i have been in work
On 17th August i had a few hours at Patchway but was there earlier than usual which allowed me to get a shot i have wanted for a while and that was the Murco tanks climbing the bank into the station
Then i had a week off which coincided with 3 Hoovers in the area so im never one to turn them down if not actually on the train and seeing 50050 Fearless worked its first train through the arear in 30 years i wasn,t going to miss it

August starts with a brief visit to Worle Junction on the 3rd for LSL Statesman tour
From 7th/2022-31/7/2022 it has been an interesting period locally with only the 2nd working of the Bridgwater flask and my other lady Caroline paying a passing visit and a few hours at Patchway with the Lydney line closed meaning a few diverts including TFW's Flirts
July 2022 find Cross Country unveiling 43184 in Inter City Executive livery and the start of a trip to Gloucester
16th June found me starting 13 days off and 43040 around in its 40th Falklands anniversary livery and 37419 on another DRS route refresher
Since April anything of interest has been thin on the ground so have saved some for a decent upload in one go
On 13th April the Bule Pullman paid a passing visit to Weston so got it at Wick St Lawrence on the down and extended the area on this occasion to include the return at Puriton
There hasn't been a lot locally during February and march so here's a few things i have got
25th January i was going to have a day around Bristol but ended up in Swindon first see Out & About for more before i headed back to Temple Meads for the DCR ston e and the new steel flow to Portbury Docks
The first few off 2022 didnt start as planned was hoping to get a 56+70 at Patchway but missed them by minutes so had to make do with a Freightliner 66 and this was followed by the first Back to Back power car move of the year
