Trains at Derby - 5th June 2024
Travelling through Derby I was able to spend some time there while I was changing trains on both my outward and return journey. In the morning as well as the Class 170, 220 and 221 units on Cross Country and EMR services I was also lucky to see a class 69 heading to Litchurch Lane. On my return journey the network rail high speed measurement train or flying banana was to pay a visit into the station returning to the RTC from Landore.

Trainspotting is a good thing to do, when you're in difficulties. With this 50 things to see and do mission still incomplete, I guess the best thing to do is abort it. There are too many cancellations in the way, as well as railstrikes on top of it all. Trainspotting and visiting preserved railways are easiest for you to do, without all that hassle. Believe me, some things are just not to be. I know you want to tick everything off on the list, and you've done well to get as far as you have with the mission, yet it seems the end is getting further and further away from you. Be proud of what you've managed to do, and stick to trainspotting and visiting preserved railways. These are easier for you to achieve.

Over the next few weeks I'm doing a mix of both with more 50 things videos coming out as well as a number of visits to preserved railways. Work has got in the way the last few months but now as I'm traveling quite a bit for work will be making a decent inroad to both GB and underground lists.
