Evening folks,

Just under 100 photographs have just been uploaded to the website featuring Saturday's travels around London and the South East.

Click https://bit.ly/2PYDXJL to view them all.

The main event of my day was the IRO lecture in a hotel near Euston. But an early finish allowed for some extending travelling afterwards. Pictures from today feature:
- Carshalton Beeches
- Norwood Jct.
- Penge West.
- Penge East.
- Sydenham Hill - to capture Hastings DEMU 1001 passing the station on a railtour.
- London Victoria.
- London Euston.
- Great Portland Street.
- Regents Park.
- London Paddington.
- Swindon - to travel back to London on one of the last long distance HST sets in service with GWR. End of an era. The last HST will leave Paddington on the 18th May.
- St. Pancras.
- Bedford.
- Bletchley - travelled on the former London Underground D Stock in its new guise as a Class 230 on the National Network on the Marston Vale line.
- Euston.
- London Bridge.

Evening folks,

The final batch of images from my weekend trip to London have now been uploaded to https://bit.ly/30gHsjy

After Saturday's unexpected trip to Swindon and the Marston Vale line, Sunday was a more local affair with images from:
- Carshalton Beeches.
- Sutton
- West Sutton.
- Epsom.
- Ashtead.
- Gatwick Airport.
- Shannon.

To view the collection from the start take a look at https://bit.ly/2vT3Pxe

Highlights include:
My final run on a traditional length GWR HST from Swindon to London. Some sets are being retained for West of England operation in 2+4 format.
Hastings DEMU 1001 on a railtour.
Former London Underground D Stock train in its new life on the Marston Vale line between Bedford and Bletchley.
