Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 17/12/2023 Post by: johnneyw on December 18, 2023, 17:07:19 I'm relieved to see a wall at the foot of the picture between (presumably) yourself and the front of the DMU.....it would never do to have dead rather than red squirrel on the line!
I'm clueless as to the location though. Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 17/12/2023 Post by: Western Pathfinder on December 18, 2023, 17:20:10 That's Norman's named unit so Henley by any chance ?...
Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 17/12/2023 Post by: johnneyw on December 18, 2023, 17:21:04 Wikipedia says that "Unit 166204 was named in honour of Twyford station master Norman Topsom MBE who retired in November 2015" so I'm guessing that it's a Thames Valley station with a bay platform.
Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 17/12/2023 Post by: stuving on December 18, 2023, 17:30:30 166204 is shown on RTT as running 2U22 yesterday, 1149 from PNZ to CDF. The same service is also shown operated by 802004. I've also had 166204 but only from BRI. Which you get depends on what page you were one beforehand. Evidently something odd to do with parallel universes is going on here.

Can't remember when I last saw a train there. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
