Can't remember if I posted this one, no issue as to where it is!  IIRC 1977 or so, the late lamented Trans-Pennine units.

Well off its normal line; they used to run Liverpool - Hull.

TP units saw regular use on services at/through York, not just Liverpool-Hull services.

From a recent trip to the Welsh borders:

 

Cefn Viaduct between Chirk/Ruabon with a 197

Chirk aqueduct and viaduct, with canal boat and a pair of 158s

A single unit engineers car in York, 1976.  I've never seen a model of one in this yucky livery.

Ex-cl.122 DMBS in Departmental service as a Route Learning unit. 

Probably TDB975309 (ex-55008) or -310 (55010) as they both had the drab olive/khaki livery.

They were converted to this use in May & July 1974.

As the residents around Marylebone are not fans of class 68s due to their noise, it looks like someone has created a lower volume class 68 judging by the number on the front of this unit, but then the front end of some of the Chiltern units are decidedly scruffy...

A TransPennine Express class 185 hurries towards Heaton Lodge East Junction with a service from Manchester Piccadilly to Hull on 5th June 2024.

For reference, the class 185 is on the Down Huddersfield line.  The two separate tracks in the foreground form the Up and Down Lancashire & Yorkshire Calder Valley line from Heaton Lodge Junction, which is to the left just out of shot.  The Up Huddersfield Slow is hidden from view behind the bracken in the immediate foreground.

Another one from the "Rear Window" at Exmouth Junction, this time with 150 130 heading for Exmouth. 3rd March 2016. 

 

And, on the 28th April the same year, under a dramatic sky, Exmouth Junction turnback siding, with 150 263 departing.  Martians shop at Morrisons on the site of the former MPD?

A couple of 171s on the Eastbourne to Ashford (not International at present) route. Nice to see the upper quadrant signals are still there at Hastings.
