Thursday - can't remember
Friday
Got the 0850 to Fareham & got a RRB to Fratton, where I took a wonder on along a path near the railway line (legally) but the 73's were parked in the wrong place. Anyway, went back & got the 1318# 450 to Soton (from Fareham) then saw 158741, which was on the Soton - PNZ. I got the 1410 back home, where I stocked up & got the 1618 back to WSB. I caught the scot rail 158 from here to Exeter.
I then got a shot of the 31(602) leaving ESD. I then got a HST (with a Traveling Chef) mmm, bacon roll! Then a 180 back to WSb, 158 back to TRO
Saturday
Speant a very boring day pottering around Salisbury, with no RRB's to do in the evening, so orginsied a run down to PNZ with Sprog
Sunday
"Tom, your train doesn't exist!" O no, in his words, but he made his way to BTM, intime for the 1105 HST to PNZ. It was fairly dead. 43065 was in . We got to PNZ, walked round & got some suplies from a wine shop (nothing else was open) & then chugged back, geting told of for talking in the quiet coach, even though some1 was listening to a MP3 thingy sat behind us
Anyway, we got through nearly 3 litres of coke, along with free stuff between PNZ - PLY becuase there was no buffet crew (sprog explain
) Anyway, we saw each other off & compared 'notes' over MSN. I will expain more on this meet later
