May 2018
No activity on the lineside until the early May Bank Holiday weekend which saw another blockade on the GWML and diversions via the Chiltern line. A few shots from the Saturday included here. Another Branch Line Society outing on 12th May has its own dedicated gallery, and I was fortunate enough to join Mick Barstow and one of his former work colleagues on a visit to the Wherry Lines in East Anglia for more Class 37 action!

66200, Princes Risborough, 6A03, 5th May 2018
With another engineering block on the GWML, a few freights and a series of GWR HSTs were diverted via the Chiltern line over the weekend of 5th to 7th May 2018. This included 6A03, the 02:58 binliner train from Severnside SITA to Brentford with 66200 in charge. It is passing through Princes Risborough on the Up Main Line at 06:16¼, some twelve minutes early just after the sun has climbed above the horizon. Digital Image No. IGMP36468.
