    And for those who dislike the things, no box on the back when I saw her near Arlesey this morning.
    As for the wreath, I think one of her supporters passed away recently.

    Nice touch that they're remembering Alan Pegler as well.
    Like the little bit of Latin by the way.

    Agreed and it's good that NR found a path. That said, multiple stops up and back make for a slow trip each way (5 - 5.5 hr) and a late finish in London, all of which take the edge off it a bit. But that's probably the price we now have to pay.

    Not a trace of exhaust, still it's the only shot I've got showing the new livery. LINK

    Feels strange seeing Tornado on a different rake of stock on the mainline. The maroon looks better with the Brunswick Green. The whistle does sound a bit off in that video though.

    Anybody else noticed that the Cathedrals Express Headboard is different to the one normally used by Tornado.
