So far in 2019, my 'on again off again' red pen desire (it's too darn cold to go planespotting!
) recently led me to work out which 800s I've had. I've got a nice little block of them from 800004-800009 now, which is rather convenient. I almost still remember all the journeys on the ones I've had too which was a surprise, although the only one I don't recall is the one Lord Kite of the Shires and I had from Hereford to Worcester Foregate Street a while back. Probably because I didn't really look at the number
Anyway, so far in 2019 I've not really been on trains much (actually I've only done two so far!) but the following is what I 'scored':
10th January 2019
800007 - Hereford to London Paddington via Evesham
13th January 2019
800309 - London Paddington to Hereford via Evesham (had to check my memory there with the text about it to Lord Kite as I thought it was 319!)
Towards the end of 2018, by chance I re-cleared the 168s with 168321 Oxford-Oxford Parkway (done purely because it was a time killer and the same fare as to Oxford!) and started on the 800/3s with 800305 Oxford-Worcester Shrub Hill and 800302 Worcester Shrub Hill-Hereford (or were those two the other way around, not sure now). That same day I scored 800004 Worcester Shrub Hill-Oxford.
Note that I'm not back on the scene, I just got so bored last week on my days off I started working out the 800s just to try and fill some time!
