As this is a new account on here felt it only right to post my favourite rail 📸 from recent years.
#Freightliner 90012 & 90008 cross the Lee Navigation at Hackney Wick working 4M87 Felixstowe to Trafford Park intermodal on 7/9/22. Glad i got the shot before "I 💛 EGGS" was covered by another writer.

#MidweekMeridian Two views of 222014 departing from Kettering during a moment of sunshine on Saturday afternoon with 1B55 13.45 Nottingham-St.Pancras. #MML #EMR 25/10/25

#MidweekMeridian #EMR 222011 approaches Kettering with 1D43 13.35 St.Pancras-Nottingham on Saturday. #MML 25/10/25

A real bonus today as the ECS from yesterday's 'Brick & Tile' railtour headed down the #MML. #HansonAndHall 50008 'Thunderer' with 50007 'Hercules' & a nice set of #EasternRailServices mk2s working 5D50 Wembley Receptions 1-7 to Chaddesden Sidings at Kettering. 26/10/25

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 4d

First ones are being taken by Lumo i believe. Set 5 should be off to Scotland tomorrow as far as i know.

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 4d

Funnily enough i managed a double cop today as well with this one & then 69016 later in the day

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 4d

That's got some attitude hasn't it!

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 4d

100% agree. 66 looks amazing and the 69 is dreadful, but not in a good way 😂

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 4d

Almost dark but this was too good to miss today. #GBRF 0E74 Wellingborough Up TC to Peterborough Maintenance Shed convoy at Kettering with 66763, 69016 & 66789. My first view of the #PoundlandPolicecar livery 69 & by contrast always a delight to see #LargeLogo 789! #MML 25/10/25

#MML #ShedSaturday this afternoon. Running an impressive 57E even after being held at Wellingborough, #DBCargoUK regeared 66651 passes Kettering with 6D32 Elstow to Mountsorrel Sidings. Formerly 66221, this renumber was a ✅️ for 👀 & 📸 for me 😃. #ShedWatch 25/10/25

Nipped out to see 0Q90 Wellingborough Up TC to Leicester LIP this evening. #GBRF 99002, 99001 & 69014 passing Kettering after earlier working 4Q90 from Tonbridge. Not the best view as everyone had to move at last minute & film from the end of P3 due to the Meridian sat in the platform. #MML 23/10/25

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 7d

I love it! A great idea and they seem to have done a very good job both internally & externally. Always looks immaculate when on tours.

#MidweekMeridian With set 5 off to a new life in Scotland soon here's a look at her #EMR days on the #MML. Firstly, 222005 still in Stagecoach/beachball livery at Rushton on 18/9/21 & 3yrs later my penultimate shot of her, prior to working a Kettering to Corby shuttle on 22/9/24.

More #SundaySixtyNine #RHTT pics from a dull & wet Oakham this afternoon. 69008 'Richard Howe' & 69003 'The Railway Observer' top & tail 3J41 Peterborough North Yard to Peterborough via Humberstone Rd, Leicester. #GBRF 19/10/25

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 10d

#SignalboxSunday Dreadful photting conditions in Oakham this afternoon. Popped out to catch the GB Railfreight #RHTT passing through in the rain. 69008 'Richard Howe' leading with 69003 on the rear of 3J41 Peterborough North Yard to Peterborough via Humberstone Rd 19/10/25

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 11d

Good to see it was busy 👍

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 12d

Think that makes 3 up there for spares now. Good to see the overhaul programme happening though, 99 done and next two 13 at Loughborough & 22 at Colwick

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 12d

I really like 180s too. Had some comfortable rides on them with EMR. But my money is on them more likely to end up in Kingsbury or Newport 😕

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 12d

Yes, for spares i believe for 022 which is currently being overhauled up there

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 13d

Yes, it's 60060

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 15d

19 as well i read somewhere?

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 15d

😓🙏

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 15d

Is she still in the lake Bob or did they raise her for salvage?

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 15d

They must be 60+ years old?

AndyH @andyh616.bsky.social · 15d

They really are huge. Seems amazing to me that they are used on inland lakes, everything on such a massive scale over there. And shocking that weather could cause something that large to be lost.
