BR Blue Class 26 MacRat
31st December 2005

Most of my holidays every year at the beginning of July included bashing these spluttering McRats to Kyle and Wick.
Needless to say the honeymoon included plenty of mileage and accomodation around the Inverness area! Those XOS 26001-7 were hard to get and involved 3 overnights while at work to clear on the Brighton Edinburgh overnight move.
