I liked the old regional variations...if it was a 52 then you were probably on the WR...if you saw a 55 then you were somewhere on the ECML. Now, you can go anywhere and you'll probably see a shed. You knew where you where with the old diesels...literally!  |
I know what you mean, but I quite like the opposite. You can now see almost any locomotive in any part of the country. Pick your favourite station, wait long enough, and eventually whatever you want to see will turn up!
I know of at least 2 people who have photographed every class 60 working on the Immingham - Scunthorpe iron ore trains, and I believe there is someone else who has photographed every Freightliner 66 and 90 from the same platform at Nuneaton. It means I don't have to travel all over the UK if I don't want to, looking for locos which I still need to see / photograph.
