    On the return, the train's allowed 24 mins from Honeybourne at 1657 and Morton In Marsh at 1721. That's about double what's needed. Odd. Should we expect it to run early, even if it then has to wait at Charlbury to pass the GW service to Hereford that's due at 1741?

    RTT says right time away from Willesden SW Sidings, where I assume the loco change happened. Has anyone seen it yet?

    Very poor lighting and visibility, a difficult location acoustically, but none the less really pleased with the way this turned out.

    Can't be 'dead' when running on vacuum brakes. Not assisting perhaps.

    Going like a dream on approach to Campden Tunnel. Will gamble Campden bank on the return and fingers crossed there's not too much pushing from the rear !

    If you are going to be pedantic, you can't run on brakes.

    Lizzie sounding well on the money up Campden Bank albeit with the dreaded draincock going off ! There was also a couple of slips too. The diesel was just taking it's weight with only a light rumble heard as it passed me at the tunnel mouth. A very dull day weather wise, but a bright performance from the Princess

    Nearing Campden tunnel on the outward journey. Looking at UK Steam I think today was the last steam tour planned to run over this line in 2016.
