    Me and the missus are in coach E 5/6F, if you want to say hello. Would be nice to put faces to member usernames (before I ban you for interrupting my coffee). We're celebrating significant birthdays, so cards/presents/beers are optional! ;)

    Aha, that fuel additive seems to have worked. Hope they've still got some left for tomorrow.

    Didn't you claim your ticket on expenses using the NatPres mod account? ;) Let me know where you are and I'll have a wander into cattle class to say hello. "The Meeting of the Mods". Scary.

    My ticket is with UKRT for collection at York but I'm guessing that I won't be a million miles away from the buffet. I will be the one with the goggles and a video camera on a specially adapted selfie stick so I can capture the action from alongside the train...............NOT!

    Left KX on time but leisurely departure with stops in gasworks tunnel and afterwards to get on to slow line. Been told to "enjoy the sights, sounds and smells" of the Deltic. It's certainly left a smokescreen behind. Now, where's that window I reserved...
