Yes, although I live not far away, I didn't bother as there would be no effort from the 'five' (even though everything is now wet!). A shame, as...
Well, almost all of the route for tomorrow is now drenched - there were widepsread torrential downpours while I was driving across Surrey this...
2.8mm total here in Gomshall - plenty to wet the vegetation thoroughly (which is the important element for fire rather than soil moisture)....
Significant rain here in Surrey today and much more forecast for Tuesday, but I assume the official fire risk will remain the same for Wednesday's...
Nice, but you had another foot of buffer beam to play with yet!;)
I'm sure this will be discussed at length elsewhere but I can't help thinking NR's fire risk assessment for steam operation is not fit for...
Fine shots. The exhaust and its shadow on the first shot give good symmetry.
I imagine we must be close to a steam ban/curtailment across much of at least the southern half of the UK now, given the extremely dry weather....
That won't be there when running, so is it really worth doing, I wonder. These things can be taken too far.
Whatever that means...

Yes, it would be lovely for photographers to have no rear diesel, and for some on-board purists, but I do wonder what proportion of the travellers...
A shot to be proud of, enhanced by the period hut. The 'wrong' side sun gives drama and helps to disguise the stock type and liveries!
This is a strange sight - with Mk2 blue and grey coaches headed by a 'Five' on the up WCML fast, it looks like some sort of sci-fi alternative...
Looking at RTT, it seems that almost everything from Euston this morning was either cancelled or severely delayed by over-running works. The PE...
Agreed that the risk is small but I wondered if was more significant with the mix of steam and diesel in this case. Just curious, not an issue.
Am I right in assuming that the trains reverse on the main (relief/slow) lines using the crossover? While that should be straightforward I do...
44871 has the easy, downhill leg.
Indeed, but in cases like this, unless the starting/shunt signal is already clear, there is no choice - the loco and support coach would need to...
I have no idea, but the train would be too long for the platform so something must have been done to ensure people didn't drop to the ballast (I...
