We were put ahead of a late running Cheltenham train, so have had some shoves away from loops, but just had a sustained spell of very fast running west of Wooton Bassett, now well ahead of schedule.

We've skipped Swindon stop so now nearly 15 mins early of anyone heading out!

From the restart at Leamington we were up to 58 mph at Fosse Road and into Harbury Tunnel at 64. Very good if it was all Clun's own work, but there was rapid acceleration around mp 104 1/2 (37 to 47 mph in half a mile) so I'm a bit sceptical.

Lovely noisey sprint up to 67mph, just pulled into Warwick Parkway. Diesel on back doing nothing.

acorb liked Colin Allcars's post in the thread WSR SSG 2024 May 3rd to 6th.

acorb liked Greenway's post in the thread WSR SSG 2024 May 3rd to 6th.
The WSR with all the stops pulled out. Good to see, an excellent choice of locomotives with the freight trains making a well turned out addition. It appears to have been a success with well patronized trains. Full marks to the organisers,...
