Class50 50037 'Illustrious' in Large Logo livery heads through Withington in April 1986.
The working is the Sundays only 16.15 Hereford to London Paddington service.
The scene at Withington has changed and not for the better. I haven't visited for a few years but it was incredibly overgrown on my last visit. I will have to check it out again. Please see my album 'Withington Comparisons'. I did remove a couple of shots but will put them back at some point. I also have a black and white shot of 50004 I think.

10.14: SNCB HLD 27 No. 2733 arrives in Bercham on its way to Antwerpen Centraal.
It returned on the reverse diagram at 10.52.
2733 was built by BN - La Brugeoise et Nivelles and delivered to SNCB on 21/02/1983.
Its last overhaul was a Revision Intermediate (RI) which was completed on 23/08/2013.
The whole class was slated for withdrawal after 40 years of service, as the decision was made to not fit them with ETCS.
Since 2022/2023, they have steadily been run down and retired as accidents and/or expensive faults occurred.
The earlier withdrawals allowed spare parts to be obtained, but the need dropped when the M7 EMUs started to arrive.
The last 6 still active with SNCB were withdrawn by mid December 2025 when ETCS was supposed to go live across Belgian rail lines.
With ETCS now will not go fully live for another year or so, there was speculation some would be kept active for a few months longer.
But this didn’t occur.
2633 went straight into official withdrawal on 31/08/2022, without a known earlier storage date.
It became one of 8 Class 27s sold to CZ Loko [CZ] and are currently in Poland with 12 Class 21s waiting for a decision.
It is unclear if they will be overhauled and used, become parts donors or scrapped.
The stored ones remaining in Belgium with SNCB, (except 2711 flagged for preservation), are almost certainly going to be scrapped.
So at least uncertainty is for now, better than their fate.
Grateful thanks, as usual, to Iain Dobson and his excellent Ramble emails for the detailed info 🙏.
ÖBB Nightjet services NJ499 (to Wien) and NJ10491 (to Innsbruck) depart Hamburg-Harburg in the night behind Taurus 1016.041, working with the new-generation Nightjet stock.
Formed as a combined working out of Hamburg, the train will divide further south, with portions continuing towards the Austrian capital Wien and westward into the Tyrol at Innsbruck.
The new Nightjet sets represent the next evolution of European overnight travel, offering enhanced privacy, modern interiors, and improved passenger comfort while maintaining classic locomotive-hauled operation. Under the station lighting at Hamburg-Harburg, 1016.041 provides a striking lead as the southbound sleeper accelerates into the darkness.
Captured at Hamburg-Harburg during the overnight departure from Germany into Austria.

12.47: AM80 EMU 350 arrives at Bercham from Antwerpen Centraal.
350 had headed into Antwerpen Centraal at 12.09, so a reasonably quick turnaround and back out again.
The AM80s have a local nickname of “breaks” due to the break in design from the older ones used by SNCB.
All 140 sets were delivered between 1981 and 1983 to SNCB by BN - La Brugeoise et Nivelles, with 350 delivered in 1982.
Initially built as 2-Car sets (Car types “ABDx” & “Bx”), they have a maximum speed of 160 km/h and were known for their very good acceleration.
But this changed when SNCB added a middle carriage (Car “B”) to all sets between 1991 and 1993. The single powered car lost acceleration with the extra 50 tonnes weight of the 3rd carriage.
From 2009 to 2019 all sets went through a major modernisation refurb. This added mobility access and bike storage facilities as well as passenger information screens and AC for the drivers.
Set 350 was released from its refurb on 18/11/2013.
All but 2 of the Class are still active as at February 2026.
