Ok, so a bit about me first.
Started spotting in the 70's, loved Westerns & Peaks started bashing late 70's then gave up late 80's early nineties but always kept an interest.
Recently have been working next to Cardiff Central so started logging numbers on an excel spreadsheet and then as things do it progressed. I now have a season ticket to Newport to get some new haulage in bit don't have the opportunity to travel far.
Once a month I'll get a day when I can do a day trip.
The first of these was to London and very successful arrived at Paddington, called in at Marylebone, Clapham Jct, Waterloo, Liverpool St, KX & Euston.
Second trip was less successful - Paddington again - but lack of planning on my part meant that we diverted at Bristol which took some available time off and there was a tube strike in London!
On that occasion I stopped off at Reading for a few photo's of freight, popped into KX, StP & Euston again.
Tomorrow is my third trip - I'm thinking of bailing at Reading and taking a EMU up to Victoria and then a whistle stop tour of the termini.
I've read some of the other threads on this forum and have always found them interesting, so thought it was time to contribute my own!
