    I'll be up early in the morning to see 70013 leave Haywards Heath on Saturday and hopefully on arrival back. Second time I'll have seen Olly C.

    I intend to see it at Cosham. Am looking forward to it. Need to make sure she is in good shape for her trip over the crossing onto the NNR!

    I believe this is the case as engineering works are taking place in the Dorking area and Three Bridges to Billingshurst (from what I saw earlier coming back from college).

    My Dad and I will probably go to the road bridge over the line where Clayton Tunnel is to phot Cromwell. But off home then afterwards & unfortunately no Mid-Hants gala for us this year as we've been going to the Bluebell practically every w/e for the past 3 or 4 weeks and then it's back up there next Saturday for the PTS course and the missus and mother are getting a bit naffed off with my Dad and I with it all.

    The train is reported to consist of 11 dual braked coaches plus support coach. For photographers around the
    Dundas Aqueduct area, a speed limit of 15 mph applies in both directions. Thanks to Roger Smith. <BJ>

    uksteam.info says wcrc, which is maroon.

    For those who may be going to phot on the eastleigh-romsey branch, chandlers ford is looking to be a good area. If any interested on the current best places, please pm me as i live there and have been exploring as usual.

    Tom,
    It may be disappointing to have someone get in the way of a picture opportunity,but there is no need for the SEVEN letter word on here.Especially when you have the footer that you have.
