I guess really this post should be called in search of the 333s as that was one of the primary reasons for my trip. I haven't been to Leeds since October of 1996 which is a long old time.
Bold = Haulage, Red = Winner, All others are sightings.
Up and early out of the house for the 06:01 to London Bridge (2J04) and the usual 455s - 455842, 455810. From Streatham 700044 took me to St Pancras International. With just enough time at Kings Cross to walk up the platforms to get all the coaching stock for 1D03 Kings Cross to Leeds 91113 [Consist: 12202, 12480, 12421, 12518, 12327, 10303, 11278, 11304, 11404, 82209] It left on the dot of 07:03. Passing Ferme Park I managed to see 717010 stabled. I tried logging on to the Wi-Fi on LNER but at £8 for 5 hours there was no way I was going to pay! #LNER please note if Southern, Greater Anglia and GWR can have free Wi-Fi for all then I'm sure you can too!
At Biggleswade 66177 sat with 6L69 arrival from Peterborough West Yard. At Peterborough 1N43 to Birmingham New Street was formed of 170638. Before we left a southbound freight passed; 66735 was heading to Middleton Towers. North of the stations at Eastfield were 66710, 66759, 66727.
Grantham gave me my first 'cop' of the day 2S02 to Skegness was 158847. At Doncaster yards 66717 and a rather shabby looking 60065 in EWS livery sat unused. Next to the old BREL works I noted 37884 (Europhoenix) and 66789 (BR Large Logo) but obviously no photos were taken but I hoped to return later in the day. 144002 was on 2P05 to Scunthorpe. Another Freight in the shape of 6E56 to Drax powered by 66618. Stabled to the north was DR98005. And on to Leeds.
Leeds 09:17 - 13:50.
Upon the approaches I nabbed my first 333. 2P30 Leeds to Bradford Foster Square slid past me with 333015 doing the honours. This started a rather large number of new sightings (and photos).
