Went down to Torquay for a few days a little while ago. Here seen arriving at Newton Abbott is a CrossCountry Class 220 Voyager en-route to Paignton:


Of a more recent note, three generations of Southeastern at Petts Wood. Seen today almost at the same time, due to the biggest pile-up in the world that is London Bridge. Third day of signalling problems in the recently re-open section meant that odd workings was on a large scale today. Starting with 465022, my personal favourite train, arriving at Petts Wood with a Victoria service:

Secondly, a fast service to Tunbridge Wells raced through the station on the now disused platform 2 and was the late running service formed of 375 612

Lastly we have 376 030 on a rarely seen occurrence, on the late running 17:24 from Sevenoaks to London Charing Cross:

I thought 465 trains were common for Victoria trains? The ones I see at Ashford are almost always 465s... :)
One from August, I was on holiday in Yorkshire and took the train from Harrogate into York, this was taken before boarding the train back to Harrogate:

The next day and the NYMR. Here's 37264 bringing in a rake of coaches to Pickering for the first train out to the Whitby:

And back at home, a SouthEastern Electrostar bound for Charing Cross:

@Road-hog123 , it was the 375 from Victoria to Hastings and the 376 from Sevenoaks to Charing Cross that were rarities! The 465 was a standard service. As it happens I went down to Canterbury West yesterday, and got off at Wye. Nice little place, didn't stay very long though.
