    About 1pm at Landor St, Birmingham. Takes water at Kings Norton. The media coverage in Cornwall for Sunday's trip is quite excessive, one to avoid.

    I was only interested if she was passing through the Newport area on Saturday! Wasn't sure if she was coming from Carnforth.

    And so it was - Penkridge and Searchlight Lane on quite a humid afternoon I thought would be too warm for exhaust.

    Very unusual to see a light engine on the mainline. Bit of a risk running without a support crew

    You'll find that, additionally to any travelling on the footplate, a van with extra persons and carrying equipment that may be needed (In a casual, expected sense) will likely be following the Black 5 up.

    Today's route for 60007 to Bishops Lydeard started off going via Chester on the usual LSL Crewe to Coton Hill path.
    Delayed by the 19 mins late (at Gobowen) Holyhead to Cardiff very 2nd class Transport for Wales service (a 2 car Class 150) the A4 was 12 minutes late through Gobowen.
    I only mention that as 12 minutes earlier the contrast between a sunny foreground and the darkening sky over Chirk was far more pronounced that this

    The van just met the loco at the two water stops, at Lockerbie and Craigendoran and followed through to Fort William carrying crew overnight bags as there is minimal locker space on mainline locos these days. No problem at all apart from there being no readily available brew of tea:(
