Immaculate 47 at
Bristol

47805 'Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013' stabled in the short spur adjacent to platform 5 at Bristol Temple Meads this morning.  The loco is owned by Locomotive Services Ltd who are based at the former Crewe Diesel Depot adjacent to Crewe station. The name is in commemoration of the father of LSL's owner, Jeremy Hosking.  47805 was previously named 'Bristol Bath Road' (29.06.1991 - 02.1995),  'Pride of Toton' (06.02.2002 - 08.2003),  'Talisman' (29.09.2006 - 09.2011), and 'John Scott 12.05.1945 - 22.05.2012'  from 30.06.2013 until early 2016. The current name was unveiled by Jeremy Hosking on 21.04.2018 at Crewe station.    Saphos Trains is part of the LSL organisation and in my opinion they have reset the bar as far as charter operations are concerned.   Their stock and motive power is always presented in immaculate condition and gives an impression of quality and attention to detail.   I wish them every success and look forward to seeing their trains regularly on the national network.  Guy Vincent.

Spotters at Plymouth
Plymouth
Adrian King

Hi Keith, I thought to write due to a photograph shown on the web page last Saturday sent in by Trevor Tremethick and taken at Plymouth Station on the 14th August 1962. The photo showed a young trainspotter, possibly Adrian Hoblyn standing alongside a Warship D801 Vanguard. Trevor has taken great pains to send on many of the photographs to the CRS that Adrian took on his railway travels around Plymouth.
I had been on holiday in Plymouth just a few days before that photo of D801 was taken and during that time I visited the station myself to take some photographs. The attached photo which I took on either the 31st July or the 1st August '62 shows a general view of the station with a number of locomotives on view together with, by chance, two locospotters.
Of course I have no idea if it was Adrian Hoblyn and his friend but clearly they were regular visitors to the station throughout that time and it would be fitting, under the circumstances, to think it was them standing together.
Stay safe, Cheers Adrian.

I don't suppose we'll ever know, but many thanks Adrian.
