    I understand 48305 has returned to Loughborough today following a year out of traffic for firebox repairs. So looking promising it will be ready for the Gala.

    When I did it it took me about an 45 mins to an hour to get to a view of the wetlands and viaduct from memory but despite being younger than Ben I suspect he got a lot higher and faster than me! Anyway, here's another from Saturday. [ATTACH]
