    Some good shots :) Was the tour Worcester - SVR and back? Interesting to see the units on the Severn Valley, a taste of the future perhaps!

    LOL, after every stop :D ;)

    Sounds as though it was a good day, though it's slightly bizarre to see such an impressive farewell tour for units which are to carry on in service for the forseeable! There's obviously much affection for them upcountry!

    Wristbands at the ready... I stuck mine together at a funny angle, and it irritated me for the rest of the day. Good idea in principal... :lol:

    Great pictures Ian, it was nice to meet you and your brother.

    I ask myself that very question, saved having to find it when they came to check though... :lol:

    They acted as our tickets for some strange reason

    Yes we all wore green wristbands! :lol:

    Did see someone pulled this green wristband out his Wallet, but mostly spent the day bashing on 150001 with Ian Poole and Trentside, Great Day out! but got to Startford, bashed back to Birmingham on 150106
