Day 1, chasing 68s.
Started bright and early from Birmingham Snow Hill doing the 0609 Kidderminster-Marylebone on 68011 through to London.
The late arrival ment a quick dash for 0845 Marylebone-Moor St as it was my 1st winner of the day, with 68014 at the business end. Did it throughout and back to Leamington on the 1055.
There I let the 1015 go as it was 68012 and I needed 68013 which was on the 1045 behind. Took 013 to Moor St, for 012 back to London.
With time to kill, went across town to Victoria for a round trip to Gatwick on the 442s. Set out was dud, but noticed service behind was a pair of winners. Had some time Gatwick so went for lunch, coming back through the barrier the lady claimed my rover wasnt valid there!!.
Anyway, back to Marylebone for the 1750 Banbury, which was 68015 and my last winner for the day and took it to Bicester. Now on 168217 back to London.
On the Edinburgh sleeper tonight.
