Well, almost! Looking at the Realtime Trains website for 19/08/2016, I realised that there would be quite a lot to film without recording the regular procession of Virgin Trains East Coast. One or two Virgin Trains photo-bombed the shots, but, here is the result of 4 hours on Retford station with some surprises such as a First Great Western class 180 on a scheduled passenger service.
00:23 Doncaster D.C.E. Sidings to Welwyn G.C.F.D. track maintenance vehicle.
00:42 GBRf 66708 on a West Burton Power station to Doncaster coal empties.
01:16 ESW-liveried Thunderbird 67023 on a Doncaster to Kings Cross swap move.
01:45 Hull Trains class 180 on the 5Z80 empty stock working from Bounds Green to Hull slowed to a crawl on the through fast line.
03:24 Lincoln to Retford Volker Rail machine enters platform 1 and then reverses into the up sidings.
04:41 the 1D71 Kings Cross to Bradford Interchange Grand Central service.
04:50 1A63 Bradford interchange to Kings Cross Grand Central service.
05:15 1N92 Kings Cross to Sunderland Grand Central service brought to a brief stop on the through main line.
06:37 A pair of West Coast Railways class 57's top-and-tail the 5Z67 Carnforth to Norwich empty stock working.
07:00 Freightliner class 66 no. 66504 with a Felixstowe to Leeds service running 98 minutes late and so looped through platform 2 to run into Babworth loop and allow an HST pass.
09:09 The 6E83 sand train from Middleton Towers to Barnby Dun sand train with 66751.
09:34 A First Great Western class 180 forms the 1A94 Hull to Kings Cross service.
10:15 Freightliner 66528 with a Leeds to Felixstowe service.
10:40 Thunderbird 67024 drags failed class 91 no. 91121 through as the 0Z91 service from Kings Cross to Doncaster service as it swaps places with 67023 seen earlier on.
All in all, an interesting time without intentional filming class 91's or HST's.
