    I am measuring support crew times off and on the depot of departure, not the tour length for the pax. It was after all the support crew you were talking about.

    And Manston is at the GWSR for a couple of months as well I believe.

    Yes it is a long day for the support crew what with prep and disposal, but if you compare scheduled times this will be 18 hours 15 minutes, and yesterday the Swanage Belle was 18 hours 1 minute so hardly something unique.

    Same times at Staines and Woking as before, seems to lose the extra time west of Basingstoke.

    It is the way RTT works. The CME at Preston normally has the same "feature" as did the Buxton trip last week. It was explained on here a couple of months back, forget details nowq.

    Based on this sort of behaviour going unpunished do not see anyone other than the ORR being bothered really. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y91dg75ejo

    Takes all that time and in theory only 6 minutes off Wareham in front of 1W23. Mind you as it is SWR, that will probably be late, (only 21 minutes today) so maybe not an issue.

    According to Mr. Google they do not (which was what I thought). Guess we need definitive clarification, but some Heritage lines are well away from the national network and they can barely cover that.
