    I'm surprised no-one has commented. The start time is roughly two hours earlier than was advertised, which makes it unviable for some who have booked.

    People from Victoria are really getting sold short on this one. That said, it's a good day out for everyone else who boards at East Croydon and from along the Surrey Hills corridor.

    Two black hooty things gallumphed through Streatham Common this morning, confusing those waiting for the Epsom Downs service.

    Reported passing East Croydon 08:26 (8 late).

    Is this a diesel free charter day? <BJ>

    Now nearly 20 late. Do hope all is ok with the Blackies. I suspect part of the lateness at least is due to the late start and such as following a service train out of Guildford.

    Going fine. Delayed by service trains and water stop at Dorking West took longer than allowance. Pathing stop outside Reading not required so straight in.

    Passing Betchworth in raw, gloomy drizzle, but with crisp exhaust, having just breasted the summit.

    There's life in the old git yet.

    Something to do with regular intake of Youngs Bitter!

    Cheers!
