SWT442 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Not much Class 68 action in the South, but one did put in an appearance in September last year. Plus another shot I don't think I've posted before. 68017 "Hornet" thunders through Mottisfont & Dunbridge with a Pathfinder Tours excursion, running as 1Z56 Eastleigh to Paignton - 26.09.2019 Having just arrived, 68010 "Oxford Flyer" stands at Banbury with 1K45 London Marylebone to Kidderminster - 06.01.2017 Andy. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
