    Slight change of running order - due to an injury sustained (not at Woody Bay) by one of the key players involved in servicing AXE, the work isn't likely to be finished in time for next weekend. Instead, BRONLLWYD will be returning to Woody Bay for the first time since 2007 to haul the Thorpe Park Carriages over the gala period. LYD will naturally be hauling the two heritage carriages, so we should be assured of an exciting weekend of steam transport...

    Cracking set of shots from my favourite part of the world. Thanks for sharing them. Couldn't get down for this event as I was already booked on 5043's historic run along the Western Main Line yesterday.

    Glad you enjoyed my photos. It was my first ever visit to Exmoor, and I hope, not my last. It's great to see the L&BR well on their way to achieving their ambition of re-opening a substantial stretch of the route, if not the whole of it.
    I made a detour up the M5 to Stonehouse on my way back to South Wales in order to photograph the Cheltenham Flyer on its return journey. I was somewhat miffed to find that it had actually ran through some 45 minutes earlier than scheduled! I can only assume that it was a cracking run from Paddington, and that the non-stop objective was achieved.
    Cheers,

    Indeed it was a cracking run from Paddington to Gloucester where we arrived 51 minutes early!
