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!

66037, Princes Risborough, 6A85, 5th May 2018
The second diverted freight of the day was 6A85, the 02:00 from Moreton-on-Lugg to Hayes & Harlington loaded bogie hopper wagons, seen passing Princes Risborough North Signal Box at 07:21, bang on time with 66037 in charge. Strangely, this had been put out ahead of 1A02 from Bicester Depot Loop, so the diverted HST was stuck a signal block behind to West Ruislip, where it was able to overtake. Saturday 5th May 2018. Digital Image No. IGMP36482.
