    Hope the folks in the MK1 called 'Julianne' are ok - looked like they had no lights in the coach when it left Worcester

    Through Tilehurst 20.03 about 5 mins up I would say, in atrocious weather conditions. A strange occurence was just as 60019 came through on the main, a Voyager came up the relief. Talk about giving steam priority. Although it didn't affect the special, there were major disruptions between Reading & Paddington due to signalling problems at Ivor.

    15 minute delay at Ascot on return journey due to a passenger being taken ill and attended to by paramedics - otherwise a great run both ways. Does anyone know who the drivers were today?

    On the outward Pete Roberts London Vic - Reading, Ray Poole Reading to Worcester.

    I did not check on the return - got off at Clapham and rushed to catch my train, but Probably the same as the outward

    Could maybe be someone not wishing to take any chances, tail end of leaf fall season + rubbish weather + Sapperton.
