Here, I will post my doing, saying what I did for each day in 1/2 term (i.e it will be added to each day) so here goes:
Friday 31st March:
Out of school at 143 5, home at 1505. Decide to go & get some final photos of Wessex liveried units, so check some gen after going shopping & doing some other things we got the 1818 Weymouth service which was unbranded (the 1750 was delayed at TRO for an unknown reason, with it's doors shut, but IT WAS BRANDED
Anyway, when I get to Westbury, I find out who is on Dispatch. I knew who it was & he said he would let me stay on Westbury overnight (They keep a waiting room open every night anyway
So, I went home to dump my Camera goodies & get some suplies, after seeing the 1858 which had the H/B on, which was 10 down, because the driver was taking Pictures at each station
Back at Westbury, it was getting towards 2100, there was not much branding around & not much happening. The untis, come 10, were starting to be berthed in P3, there were 18 cariges of unit expected to be berthed, cleaned & sorted for the next day. At 2327, the unit that did the 1858 came in, with the headboard, so got some decent pictures of it, I nearly got given the thing, but sadly the driver was joking. I did get the bits of paper that were in the cab though, so that was allright. It is suposed to go to Frome, leaving at 0007, but normally doesn't & didn't. The 2358 BTM - Warminster was formed of 9 coahces IIRC. Units in attendance overnight were (IIRC); 158964, 158967, 158745, 150241, 153377, 153380, 153308, 150261 & many more!153318 formed the last NB service from Trowbirdge. So, units being cleaned & lots of shunting, ment I had no chance of getting any kip! At 0100, the last crew member went home, after a long chat with me & the dispatcher about how cra* First will be when they take over. That left me, 3 cleaners, fitter, Supervisor & dispatcher. With all the shunting going on & cleaning, 60091 made an apearance, with some stone I think. Prior to 2300 59202 headed off towards the B&H, followed at about 0200 by 59102 (IIRC)
I managed to fetch an hours kip, before wondering around to take some more pictures, & trying to get my head down. At 0200 (note this report has lost a bit of Chronological order) I got a shot of the Screen & Clock, saying 0200.
0455 came, & wondered down, to see they had just opened the 0525 Salisbury unit, so jumped on & got some kip, before being woken up first, on the first, first GW train from Westbury.
SATURDAY 1st APRIL - DAYTIME STUFF
Got to Salisbury at 0600, to see some of the 1st W&D workings, after going in to McDonalds for Breakfast, got some milage untill 0800 on Pulsline. I then went on the 0840 (68) to Winchester, in 'Excel 2' 3614. Then, onto Soton on Bluestar 1, in a Solant Star (X27) livered Volvo Decker. Very nice Driver. I had a +1 at Southampton on to the X7 (2622) I was back in to Salisbury 1155. So, had to find some more to do & did that well, someone I knew was on Pulsline all afternoon, so got some milage on there, before getting the 1800 X4 back to Warminster, 1900 X5 from Warminster, then the 1930 X5 to Bath, which was a MERC MINIBUS & I knew the Driver. I eventually got home at 2130, after doing the Lap to Bath, then the 263 with him.
SUNDAY 2nd APRIL
Have some family stuff to do, so will be no report today
