350266, LN 09.06 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (1Y26, RT), Northampton station 
 Our train to London from Northampton arrives at platform one. My wife and I travelled aboard the 09.06 Birmingham New Street to Euston service worked by 350266 and a member of the Class 350/4 subset. We travelled in that one, finding the former first class section almost empty and offering much more seating space.

66549, 05.06 Trafford Park-Tilbury 2 (4L55, 5L), Wembley Yard 
 Freightliner's 66549 pauses in Wembley Yard at the head of the 4L55 05.06 Trafford Park to Tilbury service. This train had arrived a couple of hours or so earlier and would head out to complete its journey in the early afternoon. This is often electric hauled but not today.

66757, 15.20 Wembley Reception-Dollands Moor (6Z65, RT), Wembley Yard 
 GBRf's 66757 'West Somerset Railway' rests in Wembley Yard before heading out in the afternoon as the 15.20 service to Dollands Moor. Notice the former Great Eastern Class 321 behind. This is one of many of these units that have been stored in Wembley Yard for many months now awaiting developments on their future. However, as time drags on, these plans are becoming less likely with the inevitable trip to the breakers looming.

67021, stabled, Wembley Yard 
 One of British Pullman's dedicated Class 67s sits stabled in Wembley Yard. There was to be a circular trip from Victoria later in the week so I suspect that 67021 was to be involved in that.

 Our outward tickets from Northampton to Euston. Notice the price at just over £27 which is creeping up. Gone are the days of a less than £20 return trip to London that we used to enjoy a few years ago, see.... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/30020437333/tickets-milton-keynes-london-euston
