Quest - conclusion - a photo on Flickriver

Quest - conclusion

            1A06 quest part XXXIV.

Class 800 bi-mode multiple units Nos. 800033 and 800016 arrive at Nailsea and Backwell station with the 06:20 Weston-super-Mare to London Paddington service on Tuesday 13th August 2019.

My intention is that this photo will be the final part of the 1A06 quest.  I feel that the project has run its course.

The reasons for this decision are several:
• Subject matter: the IETs are visually poor substitutes for the full-length HSTs, especially with their (in my opinion) dull green livery
• Publicly-accessible viewpoints: they're pretty much used up, especially the more interesting ones
• Practical: there just isn't enough time for me to go much further east, return home and then get ready for work
• It's not as much fun as it was: I don't mind getting up early, but the appeal of the challenge isn't as strong as it was when I first started.

So it's farewell to the 1A06 quest.  Thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in it.  But - never say never; there might be an epilogue some day.  We'll see.
