    Don't take that as gospel, it's only what conclusions that the Carnforth observers deduce, but they are right most of the time....

    Very unlikely. I gather that Ian Riley's brave boys are bringing reinforcements to Carnforth on Monday evening to dispose of and prep the Black Fives, ready to take the train from Preston on Tuesday morning, while the regular support crew get their heads down.

    Is it fully closed to charters etc yet? 5043 is due through on the 11th of May.

    Reading is now closed to charters, but I believe that special workings and ECS etc may be allowed through Reading overnight. Also FGW have made some changes to their ECS schedules to provide a path for 5043 on 11 May.

    Indeed, it took it round my house, so here it is at West Byfleet

    And again at journeys end back at Southall WCR. Interesting movement across Southall East Junction, scene of the 1997 Southall Rail Crash

    That's something you hardly see these days, a blanking cover over the end of the corridor connection on the support coach. Never seen one on a mark 2 coach.

    Who is hoping that Bittern shall be making a test run today! UK steam apparently has it in the agenda.
