Saturday 9th May 2009 --- Today I had an early 03:58 start to photograph the Fifty Fund's two tone green livery, D444 Exeter which was hauling The Cambrian Mountaineer Spitfire tour which operated from Bristol Temple Meads to Aberystwyth with a 05:26 departure. 37676 in West Coast Railway company was on the rear. I did a night photograph at Bristol Temple Meads station before going to Ashchurch to photograph PMR railtours The Red Dragon 1Z22 Gloucester to Holyhead which was top-and-tailed Br Two tone green 47851 and Royal 47798. I then went to Moss Pit near Acton Gate (Nice meeting Gary Smith at the location), where I photographed Blue Can 86259 which hauled the 1Z42 Birmingham New Street to Carlisle, I then photographed 66580 on a northbound liner before meeting the WCRC '47s' again. I then went to Shifnal to catch back up with D444, depsite its problems at Leamington Spa, the Hoover made up incrediable time that it had lost to pass the location only 6minutes down. I was lucky not to have the sun out as it is not good at that time of day, 37676 was on the rear and pushing. At Shrewsbury, it was joined by 97301 (ex-37170) which hauled WCRC 37676 with D444 on the rear. I photographed the tour at Middletown, and then in lovely full sun at Penarth. (Many thanks to Richard Jones for location details). I then went to Glandovery where I met the tour again before doing final shots at Borth and arriving Aberystwyth. This was the first railtour to use the new refurbished Network Rail '97s', using them had previously was intended however they are only covered on the Cambrian line. I then headed home and just as well, because D444 sadly suffered problems which lead to WCRC 37676 and I am not a big fan of the maroon livery on growlers. I went to Peterstone between Cardiff and Newport to photograph the 6B33 Theale to Robeston empty MURCO bogie tanks diverted via Gloucester, this is the last weekend of the Severn tunnel diversions. The 6B33 was hauled by 60065. Many thanks to the lizard for all of his info and updates. I then went to Netherend to photograph Cancer Trust tug74 Teenage Spirt hauling the 6B47 Westerleigh to Robeston empty MURCO bogie tanks in just about full sun. Many thanks to the lizard for the info. A great day with plenty of variety, and many thanks to all tour operators/loco owners and gen providers.
