Well, today I got up and took a bus to Waterloo, then the 12:20 450 to Richmond, where I took a 313 to South Acton, in order to see a 33 which didn't show up.

So I left at 13:22 for Willesden Junction, where there were a number of enthusiasts waiting for the EWS Managers Train. It came off the ECML at Primrose Hill rather that at Willesden, hence it went through Willesden High Level. After that, I took an incorrectly advertised Richmond bound train to Gunnersbury, where I returned to Willesden. A Murcons train was sitting at Mitre Bridge Junction. I boarded a Clapham Junction train to Kensington Olympia, where I met Julian G.

The train I was on was given priority over the Murcons train, which soon came through with 60027 at the helm. About 10 minutes later, 37603+37604 came through and I signalled to the driver, who "thrashed up". Then, we took the 15:47 service to Clapham Junction, or rather I did, when Julian G got off at West Brompton. I went to Stratford, where 37069+37059 passed through.


Finally I went to London Bridge and caught the 18:06 Networker to Catford Bridge :)

Not a bad day, 4 37s, a 60, a 59 and the Managers Train :)

Nope, Derby to London and Anglia next week. Did it go all the way to Clapham or did it stable somewhere else?
