Saturday 10th July 2010 ~ Camera Crisis

37562 at the Costa Del Queensgate this afternoon. (DS)
Des very kindly tipped me off that he'd be driving K17 'via the correct route' through Wisbech this afternoon, so armed with camera I set up position on Nene Quay to get a picture. Result : somehow a great picture of the pavement. Fortunately Des himself managed a nice shot of 562 (for as usual that was on K17 today) at Peterborough. Let's hope I have more luck at Carlton Colviille tomorrow.

37575 is officially King of the Geminis. An eagle eyed traveller on Y7 reports it arriving at King's Lynn this evening with 202027 miles on the clock. Quite astonishing.
I spent a little time at King's Lynn tonight viewing events. 37564 arrived 29 late on L11 and Y13 which should have been 37573 arrived about 15 late with 37565 which had earlier been on K14.
Eastbound, Y6 was 37578 which arrived at 20.39 and departed at 20.46 as the 20.35 to Lowestoft. The delays were due to a major accident on the A47 Norwich southern bypass which saw some motorists and no doubt buses too, stranded in the searing heat for three hours.
Earlier at lunchtime, 37564 was 12 late on L11 eastbound at Walpole and K15 with 37570 17 late going the other way.
Seemingly unaffected by the riots, The Beast was one minute early on K1 15.48 Wisbech to Peterborough.
