Those flaming XC's Colin, they really do get in the way! Its a lovely station and it was back to Bank holiday Monday Aug 2018 when i was last there, so overdue for another visit. Like you i also caught a Colas Darth 70804 i recall and yes just as dirty. Great freight workings you caught, many originating from here in the Northwest, remember 66244 on that day through my local Mauldeth Rd. As always like dear Mike excellent footage and always a joy to view. Hope, your keeping well cheers Nick.

Looks like you had a good day at Leamington Spa on the CML. Nice to catch 3 Red Sheds (for Nick), 3 70s and 2 Chiltern Silver sets. I do like the MSC livery on 66709 it still look very nice. 0:16 The headcode on 70006 was 4M55 not M53 & 13:04 70806 was 6M40 not 6M50 (that's Westbury - Bescot working). Thanks for sharing Colin and take care, Arnold 👍

[@colingarwood9971]

Thanks Arnold glad you enjoyed the video. 70806 was 6M40 as you say ( fat fingers ) as 6M50 had already passed with 70805 but i got bowled for that one.

@colingarwood9971 Oh dear, that's a shame mate was it CrossCountry or Chiltern Railways?

Great video Colin. A good location for the wagon spotters with all freight on the centre lines 😉 I saw the other Colin in the background lurching 😂 Good to see Mike joining you too 👍🏻

[@colingarwood9971]

Thank you for the kind words Ben and i'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes Colin 33043 was there with me, the first time we had met up since 2019, and him living just down the road at Worcester made it possible. Was good that Mike was able to attend as well. Thanks again for watching and take care mate, Colin.

Been waiting for your video Colin as I wanted to see what I missed before and after I was there, it was good be meet your mates that day and I also found out that Ben knows some of them. That 4O49 seamed very long and was good it was slow for your mates to get the wagons, and thank you for mentioning my channel Colin. Don't know when I will upload my short video, regards Mike.

[@antman09ful1]

Oh I forgot to say it was great to meet up with you again, and I really enjoyed what you filmed, apart from the odd XC things. 😊😊

[@colingarwood9971]

Thank you for the kind words Mike and sorry about the voyagers lol. Yes, i do believe Ben knows the other Colin through Freightmaster, not sure about the other guys. Look forward to seeing your video from the day, meanwhile take care and enjoy the decent weather mate.

Thank you for the kind comments Nick. Yes it is one of my favourite stations as well, lovely flower boxes if you're into that sortt of thing. Was nice to meet up with Mike again for a longer session than previously. Am enjoying the sunshine right now and sorting my own garden out so am keeping well thank you. I hope you are just as well mate. Best regards, Colin.
