April and a selection of photographs, mainly on the GEML south of Ipswich.

Plenty happening on 'one', failed class 90s being rescued by Cotswold 47s, a variety of liveries and a total of 3 class 86s in use on a single day.

Not to be outdone, Freightliner managed to join in the 'least reliable class 90 of the week' competion!

Later in the month Fragonset sent a few locos to the area to give a bit of variety.
