    Thanks for confirming that.
    It looked as if 70000 was being run at a good rate of speed during the gala.

    I suppose that Mayflower through Hanwell is such a common sight that the lone person on platform 2 takes little notice as she passes. :rolleyes:

    I thing the quoting on here has gone haywire again - in short...

    Someone asked what this was http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P90617/2015/09/30/advanced

    I suggested it was general WCRC Southall-Carnforth path.

    However @gwr4090 quoted my post and suggested that it was 'Devon & Cornwall Railways job, with 56312 leading Tornado and coach.' which would suggest the WSR move, hence my confusion as the original path I responded to was going to Carnforth.

    I think in conclusion you are correct :)
