    My efforts from a very sunny Clapham Junction. Trying to perfect my shots with The Shard and St George Wharf Tower in the background but not sure which one of the eight including them is the best.

    Here Comes The Sun...and Tangmere

    A failed freight train just outside Barnes station caused cancellations and delays on my route back to Chiswick afterwards. The driver of our service took great delight in pointing out the offending train as we went by!

    And here she is round the corner, having just passed through VW. Together with a rather spectacular departure from Winchfield an hour later!

    Yes Ralph he has nearly disowned me, his own brother, for being great fan of 5043, even though I am Southern through and through. Good to hear that Tangy ran without a DL, at least to Salisbury.

    Can't argue with that. I witnessed the '5's on the approach to Stoneycombe. What a wonderful sight and sound.

    I hope all goes well for the rest of the tour. Thanks to the organisers, WCRC folk and support crews. <BJ>

    Lots of shove duffing going on at Honiton. Slightly dissapointing I'd have thought for the punters.
