Friend Peter Rose has been out and about with his camera again so with his permission to do so, I present this selection for your entertainment.
Thanks also to Peter for providing the service details.
In respect to Peter’s liking for transport in its environment I have not cropped the images.
180109 ‘East Midland Railway’. Alstom built Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Unit

There are 14 Class 180 sets built in 2000/2001 for ‘First Great Western’ (FGW) where they were known as ‘Adelantes’. They developed a reputation for unreliability which caused their withdrawal from FGW service in 2008.
Some sets were returned to FGW after a period in storage whilst others went to ‘Hull Trains’ and ‘Grand Central’.
The units with ‘Hull Trains’ having been replaced by Class 802 Paragons have moved to ‘East Midland Railway’ for what will be a short stay before being replaced themselves by Class 810’s in 2022.
