Optimistic October 2009
1st October 2009 to 31st October 2009

Poor start to the month with very little sun but plenty of cloud but as the month progressed things improved. 60074 made a nice sight in the lengthening shadows whilst 2 peds to Brush to collect a Power Car was a surprise. Highlight of the month was 20227 and 20189 tnt a LUL stock move from Old Dalby to Amersham via Melton Mowbray. Hopefully many more of these to come.
