NEW Added 20 February 2026 - London (10/11 February 2026)
My first trip of the year down to London. My main target was to get some pictures of the new 2024 Tube Stock as there should have been three sets moving after traffic. Only one actually ran, but there were other things to point my camera at, such as a couple of engineering trains, the track recording train and District Line and Piccadilly Line services. 

Added 5 February 2026 - Northampton (4 February 2026)
An evening trip over to Northampton, the main target being 37501 on a unit drag. This was captured successfully along with a few other bits.

Added 5 February 2026 - Blue Tug (24 January 2026)
DCR hired in GBRf class 60 60026 for the 6M89 sand train. A very lucky patch of sun was enjoyed at Copley's Brook.

Added 5 February 2026 - Nene Valley Railway and Leicester (11 January 2026)
I was asked to light a night shoot at the Nene Valley Railway, which was very enjoyable and great fun. Not longer after I got home from this, I heard about a lash up on 6A23, so I headed up to Leicester Depot for a picture of it passing by.

Added 5 February 2026 - East Midlands Airport, Copley's Brook and Rearsby (10 January 2026)
After a brief and productive spell at East Midlands Airport, it was off over to Copley's Brook and Rearsby for a couple of freights. No pole today, as I had my dog with me.

Added 6 January 2026 - East Midlands Airport and Quorn (4 January 2026)
A quick trip over to EMA, mainly to capture the Atlas Air 777 on stand 83 and an Ethiopian Cargo 777, then a quick call in at Quorn on the GCR for a picture of a DMU.

Added 6 January 2026 - Severn Valley Railway (3 January 2026)
A trip over to the Severn Valley Railway for their Winter Steam Gala.
