    Today, April 25th, is the birthday of Oliver Cromwell. Quite by coincidence (?), 70013 is working North from KX today, so if you're in the area you can photograph "Oliver Cromwell" in Huntingdon on OC's birthday!

    Unfortunately it blew a mud hole door yesterday and cannot be fixed in time for the tour. A diesel loco will haul it instead.

    Regards,

    I thought that Oliver Cromwell was de facto head of state during the Commonwealth? Thomas Cromwell was around a couple of hundred years before? Henry VIII and all that.

    Sometimes it feels like that! - but its been a long time since I was in a history lesson. Not quite so long since I was at a 'Sealed Knot' do, but that had more to do with Real Ale than real history.
