Its odd, you don’t see any class 20’s on the mainline for months on end then you see 5 in 2 days!
Warbling away nicely, 20132 and 20118 pass Belper with a Barrow Hill – Crewe ECS working on February 20th 2025
In rapidly fading light and steady rain 20205, 20007 and 20142 pass Linslade allotments with the Bewdley – Watford “ECS” tour on February 21st 2025
With the odd combination of 2 x 43 and 2 x 20 up front, 20142 tails the Wembley – Carnforth ECS through Leighton on February 23rd 2025
The last recent class 20 move locally was back on August 27th 2024 with 20901 and 20905 topping and tailing the drain train from Bletchley TMD sidings to Woking
The late Driver Phil captures 20311 and 20132 approaching Stewartby with the GBRf 2018 Euston – Wellinborough leg on September 21st 2018
The only regular class 20 operation through Leighton over the years were nuclear flask moves by DRS. Booked to pass Leighton around 2140 this train was a challenge to phot even in the height of Summer, the evening of July 5th 2004 saw 20309 and 20313 head North on flasks seen here passing by pass bridge, South of Leighton
