I was in Southern Uniform, I'd finished work and drove very fast to Newhaven. You guys over took me on the A26 just as you arrived into Newhaven.

I did see someone on crutches. I think I saw Yorkie there, but BirminghamNewStreet was there.

Just seen me in this photo

Doh! I keep missing you. Or I can't recognise you

Sorry, would've said hi if I'd seen you!

Here's my photos:-

An overview of the east end of Edinburgh Waverley station. A Voyager was departing at the time the shot was taken.

Yes, Pendolinos do enter Edinburgh Waverley daily, I believe there is one such service a day.

A Voyager terminates from the West Coast main line

An Edinburgh Cross City service for Newcraighall departs from Waverley

This Class 90 was possibly meant to haul the sleeper, which eventually left 10 mins late hauled by a '67'

The Highlands sleeper was on time (or thereabouts) at Euston as it was able to overtake the failed sleeper in the Wolverton area.

The ex-Glasgow/Edinburgh sleeper arrived 122 mins late at 09:15 due to locomotive failure. 57312 rescued the train north of Wolverton.

The fumes from 57312 caused flakey paint to fall onto the loco.

The 'Sussex slammer' railtour at London Bridge. The VEP is seen here at the country end before a CIG was attached.

The Sussex Slammer under the glass roof at Brighton

The Sussex Slammer at Newhaven Marine. This station has only one train per day and does not appear in the public timetable.

Tangmere had arrived at Victoria with VSOE coaches by the time we arrived, providing a photo opportunity

A great day! I got home at 22:05. I would have done the last trip to Brighton but sadly the last train north is at 20:15 on a Saturday!

Yorkie,

Great Picture there

The picture of Waverley station is best i sean for sometime

Well done

MARTIN

PS,I found out the Sleepers Train between Scotland and London, the Guard

and Driver are Manned by Virgin staff Hired in by Scotrail

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2005 10:57 pm**

I though it was:

* A Scotrail Service
* EWS Loco
* Virgin Driver
* Scotrail attendants / guard.

The Guards off the sleepers are Virgin(between Scotland and England),i met the one off the Inverness sleeper while chating to the Driver off the 6am Pendo from Birmingham at Euston,The Sleeper attendants are Scotrail
What a Mix of staff

Yorkie, some gorgeous shots there, especially the one of Waverley. Just wondering what camera you use? Been thinking about buying a decent one for a while - especially something that's capable of shots in the dark.

Will they ever scrap this Slam Door rubbish?

Or, more to the point, will they ever stop advertising that every tour a slam door set does is the 'last Slam Door Stock run.'
