    Running slowly through Chiswick at 09:25 - around 14 minutes later than I expected. Good to see the sun!

    Ah diesels! Useless things - scrap the lot of them! : - )

    And what's the "operational reason" for sticking one on the back today anyway? Don't tell me the poor darlings on the VSOE need train heating!

    No, but it did need the diesel to hail the ECS into Victoria.

    Still does not excuse leaving it on there though. There again I suppose that type of punter doesn't really care.

    It wasn't pushing, so its effect was just to raise the train weight to 604 tons and make Clan Line have to work a bit harder - and we all like to see our loco's working hard, don't we!

    Plus, it was a chilly night, 9C when the train left Victoria, so I suspect that some heat on the train would have been very welcome!

    I thought the VSOE had it's own generator car anyway.

    Classic view there Steve, we could have done with it being a bit cooler but great to have some sun at last.

    Thanks - after the weather this last week I'll trade some sunshine for a lack of exhaust :)

    It looks as though the train was handled differently from normal at Bristol with the DL carrying out the shunt move rather than Clan Line.

    I am sure DBS left it on just to annoy some trainspotters, rather than for whatever operational reason they might have had for it.

    How often does it have to be said, it they don't do it unless there are specific reasons, it costs money to have the diesel on the back, an extra crew, cost of the fuel etc etc...
