Manchester Popex 31/05/82 a crazy day that started for me after suffering 47535 on 1D77 to Llandudno Junction, for 40027 steaming on the 0118 Llandudno Junction to Manchester Victoria Popex. The train had a number of bashers but very few pilgrims heading to meet the Pope! On arrival at Victoria we took refuge on the Bury service 0415 & 0505 return trips in the warmth of Class 504 unit M65456 until we were turfed off being told they were for Pilgrims only, what Pilgrims! Next stop the Rembrant room on platform 13 aka the waiting room with every bit of wall space covered in graffiti!
Heading to Preston on 1S45 suffering 47564, the day then started with Bus Stop mileages on 9 Class 40's (still managed 280.75 class 40 miles over the day!) & 3 Rats! Ending with 40129 on a Barrow Popex failing at Cark & Cartmel with Low Power and 1A00 home with unfortunately 47490.......
