    The '5's departed from Bristol TM approx 9 late and then stopped soon after. There was a 30 min delay before the train set off once again behind a stopping unit and a heavily loaded Freightliner train. An amber light was displayed at Stapleton Road just before the start of Horfield bank. Considering the damp and icy conditions at the time the crews did well to keep the train at a nice steady pace on the steep incline to Filton Abbey Wood. <BJ>

    Edit: Forgot to mention, load 12 today.

    Looking like a lengthy water stop at Hereford. It's took nearly 25 minutes to run round to the tanker due to a backlog of service trains needing the road.

    Well filled 12 coaches, and Mr Riley looking as calm as ever at Hereford .

    Good to see young chaps from both West Coast and Rileys on the footplate. Training the next generation.

    Hopefully we can miss out the water stop at STJ, no need for it imo with a second stop at Pontypool.

    Best I could do from today, approaching the site of Haughton Sidings south of Gobowen almost an hour behind schedule.
