    Thanks for that comment.

    The engine was moving off to Taunton. I had rested the camera on a bracket round one of the posts near the end of the platform, my wife had taken the mini tripod with her, so I had to improvise. I didn't use a flash and was interested to see if anything came out. The next in the sequence was too blured.

    It was a good run, and I have seen some super clips posted You Tube from Bath amongst other places, but saw myself standing on the platform at Bristol on the next poster's film clip.

    Just a as solution to earlier question about Reading on the UP trip, neighbour tells me that he and dozens of others at Reading were caught out also as she DID use the through road between platforms 4 and 5 at speed going in front of the 125 on platform 5. I don't know when she was switched, presumably after Slough so that the 125 could get going !!!

    Difficult to know what line they are booked for, don't know where to get that info but I suppose we just assume that on busy days, they will use the relief line which seemed to be what would happen just after the turbo left Twyford. I assume the signalman made a quik calculation of his own to see that the King would get past the stopper Turbo by Slough which I assume she did. all good stuff I say, and trust you weren't held up too much !!!
