Review of 2013

Following on from 2012, I’ve decided to do a review of 2013 with some of the more rare and interesting moves and workings I’ve seen during the year.

 

January 2013

A livery that is disappearing rapidly is the SPT Carmine and Cream livery, during 2013 a large number of 334’s lost this livery.   On 12th January, here is 334016 passing Hillend Loch with a service for Edinburgh Waverley.
