Network Rail
Network Rail's 31285 leads the Network Rail Structure gauging train consisting of 99666, 975280, 975081, 460000 and DBSO 9708 on the approach to Newport A.D.j in the evening sunshine. The train was running as the 1Q06 14:58 Landore TMD to Landore TMD via Newport A.D.j, Swansea, Coryton, Penarth and Cardiff Bay. The early running of the train made an afternoon shot possible.

On the 28th January 2012, four of the six Network Rail class '57s' were present in Tonbridge yard. In this particular illustration, Network Rail's 57306 (nearest the camera) and 57312 top-and-tail four new Ice and Snow control wagons (7095940026, 7095940042, 7095940125 and 7095940018) and are sandwiched between snowplough wagons 7095920010 (nearest the camera) and 7095920069. The bizarre train made a quiet outing to Ashford and return under the headcode 7z99. Shortly after returning to Tonbridge, the consist is phoographed settling in one of the far sidings in Tonbridge yard. 57301 and 57310 are at Eastleigh, whilst 57303 worked as the 0Z57 Eastleigh yard to Tonbridge yard and 57305 was already stabled at Tonbridge yard infront of 73141.
