Welcome to "Phil's Loco Photos"

Another five day trip to Greece, usual night flight from Heathrow to Athens, we took taxi to Piraeus and got a lift on narrow gauge van train to Athens and then an excellent day of action which included legendary A-456 & A-468 and I also got hold of winner A-552. We stayed in Athens and did a Bralos to Tithorea double back and then north to Thessaloniki and then a Leptokaria and back before taking train 602 all the way east. Alsthom rubbish from Alexandroupoulis to Lavara where amazed to find A-453 roll in on train 613, the class only recently being allowed east of Alexandroupoulis, the loco worked all the way to Thessaloniki, 528 km of pure music! We head for Larissa for the night, so early start next day going back to Thessaloniki, I take noise machine A-468 to Idomeni and back. I end up on A-372 which kindly fails and was rescued by A-509! Once back in Thessaloniki it was south on "Hellas Express" and a Craiova in and out of Lianokladi and back to Pireaus was and excellent finish to the trip and flight back home
