    My car will either be at Langley or Slough and I'm planning to go back into Paddington for a Crossrail back out. If we're late, I can divert into Reading to drop you back at your car but best check whether they're locking the station car park or not after the last train.

    There is a thread for Royal Duchy 2023 but some posts are going onto the RTC thread. This makes it difficult for those of us that are interested in todays tour to keep up. Maybe they can be tidied up.

    Assuming the website is correct and the tour will pick up at both Langley and Slough will this be the first steam tour in preservation to pick up at two adjacent stations in what was the London suburban area? Other picks up on non London initiating tours such as Lancaster and Preston which are stations next to each other do occur, but hardly adjacent compared to Langley and Slough.

    Meanwhile, today's Shoeburyness to Bristol run seems to have disappeared at Willesden. No sign of it on Traksy. Any news?

    D'Oh! Staggering - steam is not doing well at the moment! Many thanks. I happen to be meeting a friend at Pangbourne so may catch it there.

    Was good to see 45690 in the flesh at last! Seen barking up Hackney Wick, speeding through Twyford, departing Bath, passing Keynsham, and finally Cholsey:
