    Nice picture Wardy, thank you. And a nice "form vs function" case study, with that yellow bricklike-thingy next to her!

    Just past me in Strensall 1208 heading to Scarborough, only running at about 30mph with single support coach, most surprising!

    Uksteam has a light engine movement for 48151 to return from Shrewsbury to Carnforth on Sunday. Bit confused as 48151 is due to come off the Heart of Wales at Newport on Saturday and I thought she was then due to move to the London area to work for Steam Dreams in June.. Is she heading north to Shrewsbury on Saturday or east to London?!

    48151 follows the train north to Shrewsbury where it stables Saturday night. Timings are on uksteam but are included with the main train times rather than as a LE movement.

    Today's LE movement of 70000 Britannia from the WSR has obviously been cancelled due to its' failure on the 28th May. <BJ>
