]]> Tue Apr 29 2008 South London http://timeaster.fotopic.net/c51358.html South London: Another busy freight area, the main hotspot being Wandsworth Road. As is the norm, most freight nowadays is handled by 66s, 60s and 59s with the occasional 37. Back in 1997 when I first went to Wandsworth Road on the "offchance", I had one of the busiest days for freight which I've only bettered at Newport! Nearby Battersea Marcon terminal usually had 33s and 37s in pairs which on returning back to Angerstein would make quite a sound pulling up the incline!

The best places to photograph on this line are Kensington Olympia and the new station at West Brompton.

Most things are to be found here, including numerous liners, CCE trains, general freight and hoardes of passenger workings. The latter used to be hauled by class 47's until their ousting by the frankly awful virgin voyager fleet which, if truth be told, are worse than what they replaced........ That aside, Didcot is a good place to spend a day or so to see what is still quite a busy place for freight. Thursday 14 August 2003: Didcot - a freight and passenger hotspot.

Before its unvailing, it was given what appears an interim coat of a lighter blue and ran with smaller numbers instead of the larger ones now carried. The paint shade certainly had changed by the time of the weekend as the photos show. Personally i think it would have looked better with a grey roof but at least it's large logo. Also shown is a photo of it in old Parcels red livery.
