Day trip to Manchester

5th December 2003


09:08 - I got out of bed early to catch the 06:38 from Bangor to Manchester Piccadilly behind 47750


10:48 - I had a ride on 101685 the green unit on the 10:16 to Rose Hill, back to Piccadilly and onto Marple. Seen here at the terminus of Rose Hill. This unit once operated a special diagram on the Conwy Valley Line.


12:26 - I got off at Romiley to ride on the Strathclyde unit 101693 seen at Piccadilly


12:31 - 43071 awaits departure of the next St Pancras train. The new Midland Mainline livery is not my favourite. I don't like those random shapes in the power cars. Why do companies keep changing colours?


19:50 - I arrived home behind 47786 Roy Castle on the 17:20.
