I hope all is well for Sundays run run with 70000.

Passed Hornsey about 1 minute down, seemingly on the down fast. Not easy to tell from the depot car park. Sounded good though. Usual "green" set with a few maroon vehicles mixed in, as well as the blood and custard support coach.

 

Saw it at Foxton, and when the safety valves lifted, I had a horrible feeling of deja vu having seen the video of it climbing Scudamore Bank on the Bath Spa Express, but all was well and it left the water stop at Cambridge and passed Milton on time.

She arrived at Cambridge at 1235, and stood at the platform end for a few minutes before leaving prior to watering.

Lovely run from 70000 yesterday - wonderful rhythmic beat of a two cylinder pacific as we departed Potters Bar for the final dash to Kings Cross.
