It wouldn’t be a day around the Midlands without a rammed Cross Country! 220023 arrives into Sheffield to fulfil that quota as it works 1E52 up to Newcastle. Thankfully I’m only on for the short hop to Donny. Very nice to say hello to Coastway Will 💜 before he starts work later.
More Sprinters! AstroAreus has now gone home for the evening, and meanwhile I’m heading back up to Donny. 158875 and 158773 arrive into Alfreton working 1R76 to Liverpool Lime Street, I shall change at Sheffield. The vestibule seats in these units really are a lifesaver!
After a nice lunch in Weathspoons with AstroAreus, we now take 150271 across to Sheffield to find a certain green locomotive!
