Tuesday 30th October 2012 ~ Back to London

Taxi to Blackpool North, then onto 158 790 on the 18.29 to York as far as Preston. From Preston I got 390 046 Virgin Soldiers on the 19.58 Preston to Euston.

Some sightings on the way.... At Warrington, DBS red 60015 was parked in the bay at the south end of the station. In Arpley Yard I saw another red 60, 60040 The Territorial Army Centenary, plus 66188 and 66211. It was dark after that, there was a Network Rail HST in the LNWR yard at Crewe, plus some 86s I couldn't identify. Arrival at Euston was around 22.25, where I observed 90026 at the head of the Caledonian Sleeper - the 23.50 to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
