    Is it my imagination but did she slip briefly at 8/9 seconds in?

    If you are referring to my clip then the answer is probably no.

    At that point in the video there is a lot of traffic noise due to the bridge being on a fast section of the A20.

    As KentYeti has already mentioned she seemed to be running very well when she passed us.

    Unfortunately the weather closed in during the afternoon which prevented me and presumably other photographers from taking further shots.

    Here are the shots I promised in my last post:

    First one through Brixton on the down leg, the second near Denmark Hill coming back, both bang on time.

    Love these two pics.
    I was wondering, do they not go "over the top" on the South London Line at Brixton anymore. I would love to see steam here on this route, but I always understood, steam via Nunhead took the SLL above the station.

    All the steam I've seen at Brixton has used the low level route - indeed, I was on board one in 2001 which had to stop at the junction signal as the signaller had set the wrong route! Thanks for the comment on the photos - I was pleased that the sun came out in time for the return leg.

    The Steam Dreams trip on 21st June went "over the top" - I remember as I was on it and wondered where we were going for a moment!
