    As Mk3's are air brake only I douubt it will be that rake either. I suspect it will be drawn from the Riviera trains pool of Mk1 coaching stock.

    Making a lovely sound as it accelerated through Bromley ~0920. Messed up the photos and Dad didn't get a very good video, but it was worth going to hear a Britannia working hard again :smt023

    EDIT:

    Actually, I am surprised that they have not fitted the 'Golden Arrow' regalia for this trip :-k

    I will have a big grin on my face for the rest of the month :-D

    I went up to Shortlands tonight in the hope of seeing 70013 power through on the fast line on the return leg. It actually stopped at the station for 5 minutes and we had the pleasure of listening to that two cylinder beat as it departed the station, bang on time.

    Video on Youtube when I work out how to edit down the 7 minutes of footage!

    Regards,

    Dan
