Bumped into Y961 XBU on a 144 from Leeds to Huddersfield on Saturday night-and again in Liverpool on Monday!
I was in Liverpool on Monday too - didn't see any other forum members though!

Yeah you did!
I may or may not have found a certain bb21 today on an EMT 153 that was far from home...
How did the 153 perform on the route? I have a soft spot for dogboxes and would hate to think the old gal let you down
Where from (to London I mean)?I had Crossforth as my guard between Leeds and York a week ago.
(also this next one doesn't really count - as I already knew he was going to be there - but District was on platform duty on the platform from which my planned train to London departed from, after a cycle ride, just now)
Another interesting one today - a few of us were attempting the TPE diverts, but the service from 1310 Sheffield towards York got canned at Sheffield due to the developing problems around Shaftholme.
Rather than squeeze onto the suggested, and already crammed, Voyager, we decided to take the 1324 Northern stopper heading to Bridlington, which was much quieter. On boarding and walking through the train, we bumped into Philip Brown heading to Sheffield who, as a further twist, hadn't been intending travelling on this particular service (like us!) but was running a little late themselves!
So all in all, I only saw the motley crew for the first time on Sunday as a) TPE were diverting their services via South Yorkshire b) said service had been hit by a broken down train and c) I was running late; while the day before, Yorksrob was only passing through Sheffield because of a) and I had only seen him due to c)!
Hopefully not with a rake of Mk4s between them!I've just seen both 91101 and 43074 simultaneously at King's Cross!
Would it be normal to presume a passenger reading a railway magazine with lots of Class 68 news, be a member of our delightful community?
