June 2011
A good start to the month with a trip to the ECML, finally getting a Scotrail 90 on the Sleeper after being castled by thick fog early in June (!!!), and even a WCRC 37 on an ECS move. Later in the month, 67001 was noted doing a Stinkyex in connection with the Glastonbury festival, and I recorded my biggest fail of the year so far by going for 1M16 at Whittington with 90020 (Paul) Collingwood leading, only to be castled by it running parallel with 350*** on the Up Slow, thus wiping out the shot completely. I was, and still am absolutely fuming! 92041 on 6M76 was some consolation as was the froth Pendolino.
