#FiftyFriday Back in September at the end of a few days of 🚂🚃 & 🍻 with @kingy69beard.bsky.social, my final loco sighting before heading back to Banbury was #HansonAndHall 50008 'Thunderer' at Leamington Spa working 0E08 Reading Traincare Depot to Knottingley TMD #Thundervac #ClassFifty 13/9/25

#FiftyFriday 50022 'Anson' stands at Bristol Temple Meads on 11/8/88 at the head of 1V45 09.18 Manchester Piccadilly to Plymouth. The landmark Royal Mail sorting office building can be seen in the background, this has been demolished in recent years for redevelopment of the area.
