New Blue Pullman Delay

https://www.therailwayhub.co.uk/38262/national-lockdown-delays-blue-pullman-launch/amp/ Keith, Good afternoon to you. I hope all is well. Here is an interesting item. An all first class HST set in Blue Pullman livery. Very interesting.! Keep safe. Regards, Dennis.

Many thanks to you Dennis.

Happy coincidence at
Eastleigh

A case of right place right time with these snaps. There were photographers on the bridge which crosses Eastleigh station, so I loitered for a few minutes and was rewarded with a sighting of the Midlands Pullman HST heading into the works from the Winchester direction. I know it was repainted and left ESL heading North about a week ago (after dark) so presumably there's some more work to be done. Is this just within your area? I thought this could add a bit of colour to the CRS website - some bright blue rather than the more normal dull green!

Well caught Kevin.

Hi Keith. A couple more photos for your website.

47 107 heads a single wagon, possibly from Truro yard, up to St Blazey in July 1987 at Burngullow. 

Soon after 50012 Benbow heads west with a Plymouth Penzance stopping train. We can see that the line has recently been singled and the old signal box still in situ was a popular location with ungated access and a fellow photographer present

Kind Regards
Martin Baker
