Here is the place to post your last train of 2018.

For me it was today on 1U07 09.00 Paddington - Bristol as far as Swindon. 43086 and 43189 were doing the honours.

1R90 from Grantham to Peterborough was the last train I went on & therefore the last one of 2018 for me

It was VTWC Super Voyager 221142 on 13th December 2018 for me. It worked the 1740 Glasgow Central to Birmingham New Street service and I travelled as far as Stafford :)

For me, it will have been 390157 from Stafford to Liverpool on Saturday 22 December, on the return leg of a jaunt to Bromsgrove to see how 323's handle the Lickey incline, (with commensurate ease is the answer).

Having not been on a train over Christmas (neither through work nor leisure) , it was 1015 London Pad - Cheltenham (Swindon - Gloucester) for me with 43017 & 43153 on Saturday 22/12.

Can think of far worse for my last train of the year, because I sure won't get a chance to say that at this time in 2019 :frown:

2L24 1718 Dalmuir to Larkhall

Was on-board unit 320309 at the front, with 320411 at the back. Seems to have terminated early at Hamilton Central due to a disorder?
