    Apologies if I've missed an existing thread on this. Photos taken at the Vine Road crossing just west of Barnes station.
    Clan Line - running again as Belgian Marine - was around 18 minutes late on the "listed" time. Anyone know why? Or were the times adjusted?
    In any event, Clan Line was travelling at quite a speed - the fastest I've seen in this neck of the woods. Hence my second photo!

    Well done for finding some light, dull and overcast in the Surrey Hills.
