Another day, Friday, and another crack at the FCC 321s, here passing Harringay on the 06:20 from Peterborough.

Followed shortly afterwards by 180113 in full First Hull Trains Dynamic Lines finery on the 07:20 to Hull...

...and passing 365s in another First corporate livery - City Lights.

A pair of vinyled 365s leaving Finsbury Park on a Peterborough train.

At Caledonian Road and Barnsbury yet another First group operator - First GBRf - and 66724 on the 4L02 Hams Hall to Felixstowe.

Yo can see the changes made to the former 25kV lines on the right.

A solitary commuter pays no attention to the passage of 4L02, fiddling with his iPod instead.

The River Great Ouse was quiet ao 07:00 on Saturday morning when an EMT 158 headed out of town on the 05:52 Norwich to Liverpool Lime Street

The 06:25 Stansted to Birmingham New Street crossing the water meadows north of Ely station

66724 was once again assigned to the 4L02.

Passing some very uninterested looking cows...

...as the full train approached Ely station and a wait in the yard to pass the 4E62 and 6M24.

An FCC 365 en-route to King's Lynn

An unusually heavy 4E62 running some 25 minutes late...

..behind 66594

The 6M24 was five minutes behind, and another well loaded train.

Another refurbished EMT 158 heading towards Ely North junction.

On time 70013 on the Dorset Coast Express.

The driver adopts the classic steam driver's pose.

70013 passes a 170 in front of Ely Cathedral as it slows for the Ely stop en-route to Poole.

Manea (pronounced Mane-ee) is a quiet village in the Cambridgeshire fens, midway between Ely and March. It's a quiet place with a box which works AB to Stonea and TCB to Cambridge PSB. The box has been modernised recently with new windows, new cladding and an inside bathroom.

The station isn't quite so well provided for, a garden shed seemingly the only shelter on the Up platform. But then service is pretty sparse, two trains a day.

A Cross Country 170 on a Birmingham New Street train approaching the box and passing the Down Home.

Only EMT was absent yesterday, owing to industrial action. Here an NXEA 170 heading for Ipswich. In the distance the line climbs to cross the Old and New Bedford Rivers and the Ouse Washes.
