Doncaster - 15th July 2008

A dozen members made their way across to Doncaster on 15th July for another of those lively observation sessions. For part of the day our number was added to by guest appearances from Steve Batty and Malcolm Riley with the latter joining in with our afternoon’s down platform in house entertainment. We were saddened that Geoff Morris our Outdoor Fixtures Secretary was unable to be present. The new National Express livery was beginning to make its appearance felt and the freight traffic was of especial interest especially when two DRS locos came through just before the Cl.185 for Manchester Airport was boarded for the return home. In addition the sight of a newly formed First Great Western 3 car Cl.158 (158958) moving in the sidings outside the works created great interest for all concerned.
