    Tornado slowly through hitchin at 9:12. Changed from down slow to down main just north of the station. Very mixed rake on!

    Through Arlesey at 09:20. Effortless progress on the down main in full dull but at least it had stopped raining.

    It appears to be the standard rake for the Tornado/Steam Dreams charter train. Such a shame. <BJ>

    Surprised there isn't more on this trip. Isn't it 60163's first trip on the ECML in Brunswick Green.

    The preceding ECT express is reported being held at Grantham with police attending. This may, I stress may, delay 60163 which is following this train.

    Through Tallington at 19:00. 3 late so no problems at Grantham it would seem.
