    Short of steam? Or eased for a TSR? I've heard a suggestion that there was a clearance issue at the bridge at the top of the bank, which is why the driver shut off on the approach.

    23mph I think at the top. Went past Little Mill Junction at 60mph and Abergavenny at 59mph.

    Didn't feel like she was short of steam from the train, plenty of chimney chatter told us that. Certainly felt like she was eased back, and a TSR would make sense.

    That's odd as we literally blasted under the bridge in August. I scoped out the photo locations and didn't see a TSR.

    Not really, TSRs come and go, just because it wasn't there a month ago is irrelevant.
