Not sure if i'm permitted to post this link here, however i have just come across on youtube a video of an interesting working and thought it may interest some members.

A LM▸ (London Midland - recent franchise) 153, a FGW▸ (First Great Western) 153 and the infamous 153399 working through bodmin!

No probs, as far as I can see, posting that link. An eclectic mix of DMUs▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit). Thanks richwarwicker. 

Love the bloke at 0:23 waving and gurning for the camera!  Grin
