So with the Weekend coming to a close, we mark the end of operations on the Great Central Railway for Class 101 (Blue) – 50266/50203 after many years of service.

The Unit will now be stand down and retire making way for Class 101 (Green) – 51427/50321 to take over the mantle.

Normal DMU's dont get much attention but do a very important job getting our Heritage railways running.

50266/50203 has done the Railway proud and credit to Renaissance Railcars - Great Central Diesel Railcar Group for keeping her in fantastic operation.

Filmed and pictures over many years at the railway and will be missed.

Today at the Great Central Railway Sulzar Running Day the Diesel's roared and the sun was out, what more could you ask for.

With the Relaunch of Class 33 No.33116/D6535 “Hertfordshire Rail Tours” taking the spotlight with a successful welcome back into service after it's cosmetic overhaul.

With Class 26 No.26043 making it's last appearance before returning to Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Steam Railway want to send a massive thank you to the Cotswold Mainline Diesel Group for letting the Locomotive come the the Great Central.

Long standing residents Class 45 D123 from the 5305 Locomotive Trust and Class 27 No.27056 from the Northampton Type 2 Group giving us extra GCR horsepower today.

A wonderful day all round.
