166206 (last one at long last!)
800035 (cost me a last minute £8.30 fare!)
4 more 800/0s to go now, victory is getting closer...17 GWR IETs to go all in, including 11 802/0s and 2 802/1s. The chase is starting to get boring...
How many Unit classes have you completed now? Nearly most I would think.

Popped down after lunch, saw this roll in and thought it sounded familar from an update of my needs list recently. A check revealed it was a winner, so a quick check of options and travel was purchased. 3 more 800/0s to go, 16 GWR IETs all in, the need to head to either the Thames Valley or to Devon for my 802s is getting close...
You can borrow my Reading deckchair if you like
68019 was also a newbie for me today, along with 195126.22/2/20

Azuma sub class 800/2 cleared.
I really need to try and make a start with the 800/2s as I haven't sampled one yet. Maybe a job for a West Yorkshire Day Ranger later in the year on a weekend where LNER is running a full service
I’m gradually beginning to like the 800/801/802 stock. It’s pretty easy for me to nail the Azumas I must admit as I live on the ECML. A 7 day East Mids is useful and offers up enough routes to stop any repetitiveness setting in and also being able to sleep in your own bed each night keeps the money outlay down.
What about 43044?25/02
43465 - all EMR HSTs cleared
I did look into that East Mids rover as it does cover Peterborough to Doncaster on the ECML which will cover pretty much everything other than the hourly fast to York services.
And of course is also useful for Hull 802 newbies between Donny/Retford/Grantham.
