Today I went to the green bridge north of Kensington Olympia to see the 456 Drag to Wolverton which was being hauled by 47841 (the same loco i saw back in January when it was taking 442401 to Ilford),
And then I went to Lower Marsh Road outside Waterloo to see the 1992TS being lifted in, i'm lucky i had the chance to see the Driving Motor Car being placed in :), and then I had a long chat with some Metronet guy and some Old Bloke about the W&C

1992TS DM65506 is raised slowly to prevent the train from hitting the lampposts

The whole train was in mid-air, the W on the Paper marks which part of the train should be placed Waterloo direction or Bank Direction

Is it a bird, Is it a Plane, No! it's not that Pendolino Junk, it's a 1992TS! :)

Great pics mate, I like the look of the new LT1992s - better than the blue ones! :)
