The end is nigh...August Week 4
23rd August 2009 to 28th August 2009

Sunday was a day for doing all those things I should have done round the house on Saturday, but I still sneaked out for a couple of ECML pictures. Monday was a complete wipe out thanks to work, on Tuesday I managed a solitary picture and Wednesday was washed out thanks to the rain. Not going too well so far. Thursday was much better, both the 4Z91 and 7Y36 ran at lunchtime.

Thursday's 4Z91 was a very lightweight affair, 47739 and a pair of Norfolk Line swap-bodies, here crossing the M25 at Merstham.
