September 2017, and 68021 ‘Tireless’ is pictured undergoing commissioning tests at Crewe following modifications to permit work with the Mk5 coaches. Amazing days, and proud to have been involved.

68034 ‘Rail Riders’ brings that wonderful Caterpillar soundtrack back to Platform 16 at Leeds. A bitter reminder of the amazing job satisfaction these provided.
Wonderful to see the Mk5 press launch shots yesterday for Chiltern; you have chosen well.

Saw 68030 through Basingstoke this morning, just after the 37/90 combo. What’s everyone’s thoughts on 68’s? They sound powerful (albeit silenced!) but they are not quite the same as seeing a 37! #class68 #railfan #trainspotting

Some Moor Street shots, possibly the last time i snap a silver 68 with mk3s here depending on the timescale for the mk5 replacements. 68015 'Kev Helmer' was our ride from Leamington Spa to Birmingham & back recently on 1R21/1H45. #ChilternRailways #Class68 11/9/25

A rarity for me is to film, edit and publish a You Tube video in a single day. We went to Askam on the Cumbrian Coast Line to film trains. Featuring the Midland Pullman HST returning to Gerrards Cross from Carlisle. youtu.be/QvPl9LX3CqM?... #MidlandPullman #Class43 #Class156 #Class68 #UKRailways

Hellfire Traction 🔥

Little lunchtime rendezvous with none other than @trainfanmatt.bsky.social. Plenty of exceptional traction on display at Moor St whilst we had a catch-up 👏
