66750* I saw the outline for this but not the number so technically I can't count it even though the TOPS reports for the day said that was it.

Also, I wrote down 172239 at Leamington Spa but I can't find it in any books so I think I may have got that wrong.

20th July. Peterston Super Ely

Leamington has a few 3 coach 172s visit in the evenings (all day Sunday) so it is likely that your 172 was 172339.

Certainly a very busy morning there. I was unaware the 0635 from The Cross was booked a pair of 321s, interesting to know for futute London bashing!

Usually it's a pair of 317s, but today 321s.

Like last night 2C51 CBG-KGX is 99.99% a 317 and it was diagrammed as one then a 321 turned up ..so a swap out for some reason!

Cleared the London Overground 172's for sight on Saturday (not that there's that many :lol: ).

Need one more 395 to clear all for haulage.

Only decided to start logging numbers in April last year.

Did my first day's spotting in over fifteen years a couple of weeks ago, and as my books from that period are long gone, everything was a first spot for me! Nice day around Cardiff, Barry, and up the valleys on 22 August.

I'm not sure that one is right?

Oops, you're right. This was copied from the list I did before referencing it with my shiny new Locomotives and Coaching Stock book. I think there's a couple of others in there I'll need to remove too.

*Edited out the duds*
