October 2024 Plain Line Pattern Recognition (PLPR) train at Poole & Hamworthy - 21/10/2024

To misquote Benjamin Franklin, “nothing is certain except death, taxes and Class 79/9’s on the monthly Plain Line Pattern Recognition (PLPR) train” which paid another visit to Dorset this evening, once again top and tailed by GBRf’s No. 73965 'Des O'Brien' and No. 73962 'Dick Mabbutt'. I saw the train reporting as 1Q51 1115 Derby R.T.C. (Network Rail) to Eastleigh East Yard via Weymouth passing through Poole on the outward run and at Hamworthy on the return leg - 21/10/2024
