Week commencing 18/6/2017 had a week staying near Quorn so after visiting the GCR's Model Rail Event on the 18th on the 19th my good wife navigated me first to Sileby station then a great location at Cossington so that was our first day then on the 20th we went to Ecclesbourne Valley & Peak Rail then on the 22nd had another bit of time around Cossington & Sileby then on the 22nd had a day on Leicester station as i wanted some shots of the depot as i hadn't been there since October 1995
On 22/06/2017 receiving gen that there would be a class 345 drag i went back to Cossington for it& also teh Hithergreen-RTC test train then went to Sileby for a few evening freights
On 10/06/2017 after attending the West Somerset's diesel gala i had 30 minutes to waste at Taunton around 21:00 and its surprising waht can turn up all were run of the mill but plenty of variety
On 20/05/2017 after being at the adjacent Severn valley gala was told the Tesco was running early & being unusually running on a Saturday due to engineering work & being routed via Kidderminster it was an opportunity not to be missed
On 13/05/2017 while on way to Taunton for a meal with friends called in to Cogload Junc for a couple of returning railtours from Paignton & even managed to get Casper for the first time
On 10/05/2017 I headed to Cardiff hoping for the new Colas stone flow but that hadn't ran by 10:00 so headed towards London for the GBRF & Colas oils as they were both running & also got a 37 dragging EMU's & a 57 going to Penzance but was turned back at Didcot
