Uffington and Ashwell 7th August 2012
This collection covers a long overdue nearly full day out and not just a nip for bits as I normally do.
This collection starts at Uffington just east of Stamford on the line between Peterborough and Leicester where I had the normal mix of cross country 170’s followed by 66735 and 66730 working 6M20 Peterborough GBRF to Derby Etches Park with tube stock barrier wagons that was then followed by 66736 Wolverhampton Wanders working 0L24 Stapelford to Whitemoor.
I then got DRS 47828 working 0Z47 Stowmarket to Crewe after that had run past I made a move for Ashwell in Rutland you get the same mix of 170’s on the Stansted to Birmingham trains but you also get diverted workings off the MML via Manton Junction.
The fist train was 66184 working 6M96 Margam to Corby steelworks followed by 70015 working 6L87 Hope (Earles Sidings) to West Thurrock Sidings followed by 66083 on 6L62 Mountsorrel Sdgs to Chesterton Redland Siding then to finish off it was 31106 on 2Q88 Derby to Derby via Bedford.
