Southernman46 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Southernman - I got it at the concrete bridge at Shrivenham today - oh so close I was to stopping at Callow Hill to attempt a second shot, but stayed on the motorway. You don't drive a red car by any chance? jo One of my favourite spots that footbridge - need to do Shrivenham station road bridge but can't be bothered experiencing the traffic Aye, that was me - luckily it's possible to park (and keep the air-con on) and see down trains with plenty of warning. Saw 4V60 Soton - Wentloog FLT, a down coal (which I was expecting) and 6B33 (which I was hopeful for) all within 2 hours Tomorrow it's booked to run again (according to Freightlocate) so here's hoping.

Southernman46 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Southernman... Do you have any details on workings tomorrow ? I've got a job to do in Reading you see... Combining trainspotting with work. Any info appreciated Regards Nick Hi Nick, It's been booked to run on TWTH this week Arrives at Theale Murco (07/12) - normally runs 20-45 mins early, departs Theale Murco (13/35) - can run 20 early and thence via Reading West (13/47) and Didcot Parkway (14/16). It ran Weds & today so it SHOULD run tomorrow too. Regards, Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs4 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Cheers Tony I will see what I can do. I looked at Theale the other day when passing. The sidings don't look that long - I assume they split the train and that the 60 does a bit of shunting. The day I passed it was a 66. Good luck.

Steadfast Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 One of my favourite spots that footbridge - need to do Shrivenham station road bridge but can't be bothered experiencing the traffic Wasn't too bad the time I did it. Constant flow of traffic, but provided its just you (or maybe one other) there's room tucked in against the bridge. I've taken photos in worse traffic The lineside shrubbery has grown up a lot though recently Aye, that was me - luckily it's possible to park (and keep the air-con on) and see down trains with plenty of warning. Ooooh air con....lucky guy! I missed the coal and everything else, but here's 6B33 passing Shrivenham today Out of interest, do you know if the time on your camera's correct? If so it did Shrivenham to Callow Hill in 15 minutes - impressive for a weekday! jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi Jo, Yup it's about right so it probably did - the Cardiff it is booked to run behind was running late so it must have been was given the road. Regards, Tony 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Yes the train is split for unloading - the 66 was possibly on 6E55 which is the Lindsey train (normally on Weds/Fris) although very occasionally the Robeston is a 66. The Robeston seems to running more oin a Wednesday than a Tuesday these days. Regards, Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Tony That'd make sense! 15.13 HST if my memory serves me right 6B33 doesn't look likely tomorrow, according to 60gen 60074 worked 0B33 Robeston - Margam, so I expect it to work a steel to Dee Marsh or Round Oak, or stay in South Wales tomorrow jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWT442 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Read through the last few pages and noticed a bit of an omission. On Thursday 14th June, 60091 worked the 6B94 Fawley - Eastleigh oil train, where I captured it heading past Millbrook. It of course worked the service into Fawley from Eastleigh. I believe it also worked Fawley train on the 15th as well. I did want to catch '091 on the branch as it's just a stones throw from the house, but couldn't think of anywhere to get a decent shot of it! It's been a long time since I can remember a Tug working on the branch. Anyway, there's some great shots on here, would like to catch 6B33 sometime. Looks like an impressive train! Andy. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi all, On the way to work this morning caught a glimsp of a 60 on Cardiff docks. Makes a great change from a shed, shame I could not wait for her to leave to get some better shots, only had mobey sorry so not great. There are some better shots of this location on my Inver Energy thread. Leon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thursday found me in Cardiff on a course - so thanks to the 60gen site knew 6B33 was running - not a particularly photogenic shot but 60074 tugging up the bank into Cardiff Central.........had to literally time this shot between the Seagulls (look closely) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Up with the lark again yesterday...............different 60 on the Theale tanks after almost solid 60074 for a few weeks. 60049 near Thatcham on 6A11 Robeston - Theale tanks and later in the afternoon climbing out of Goring with 6B33 Theale - Robeston tanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Roman Posted July 12, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi All , had a bit of a wait this morning at Plumley for 6H03 Oakleigh-Tunstead came in a VSTP path at 11:47 , 1 hour later than booked. I was hoping for 60045 which had been on the circuit for a few days but 60054 was rostered today. I also was fortunate that the sun came out too .......... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Roman Posted July 22, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2012 I thought of heading to North Wales today to photograph the A4 steam Locomotive 60009, but I decided to head over to Cheshire to try and phot 60071 Ribblehead Viaduct on 6F05 Tunstead-Oakleigh. I just about caught it at Mobberley after being stuck in traffic. I also captured it on its trip from Lostock Works to Oakleigh.

Timara Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 This afternoon's lovely weather allowed me to almost entirely recreate a shot of the same loco on the same train just 7 years apart. The train is 6E39 Colnbrook to Lindsey and the location is just opposite Luton Hoo, south of Parkway station. Here's today's: ... and here's the one from yesteryear: Much as it's lovely to see them running still (and thankfully this one with the same name), the nostalgic man in me prefers the earlier one. That one was running around an hour late, hence the sun being in a more favourable position. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
