Twice in one day I went down to Attenborough to film, the reason? To see LMS 'Princess Coronation' 4-6-2 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' pass through on her last mainline tour before the expiry of her boiler ticket. As both times she was running late and I arrived early I got a bit of footage of the mainline diesels. This video features all the clips I took in the evening when I discovered my camcorders handy night mode. First we see a 153 leading a 158 unit into a stop at Attenborough and then departing in the direction of Leicester (I think). Next up 2 HSTs heading in the same direction in the space of 5 minutes, the second giving a tone, both heading for Leicester. A 158 arrives and departs for Nottingham, passing a 156 unit which I think was going in the direction of Derby.
Please note, there will be no videos of the GCR from yesterday as planned due to the fact that I was cleaning in the morning and in the afternoon the crew of 42085 told me to climb on board just before departure, and I did not have my camcorder on me.
