Train spotter's notebook found

I have joined the forum because some years ago a guy who looked like an off duty train driver left his spotting notebook (going back to Nov 1997) on a 125 between London and Didcot - there is no name in it, but someone might just recognise the writing ! If anyone recognises the writing in the attached photo could they contact me ?

Hello Johnny and welcome to the Railway Forum. How old do you think the spotting notebook is?

Hello ! The first entry is London 12 November 1997, and in amongst about 30 entries are 4 which have been ticked, and at the bottom the writer has written "Total 4", so he must be interested in stock with the numbers 977693, 977694, 365531 and 365529 - not being a spotter I'm not sure what these are. The book ends with 4 pages of numbers headed Didcot London on 19 June 2002.

Johnny
