    Starting a thread for this interesting jaunt with many hours behind double headed Black 5's. They're earning their keep and it seems the diesel last leg takes a lot longer than the morning outward behind the Black 5's. Assume pathing ?? Should be a bright crisp morning for photos.

    ECS seems to be already down there :

    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U63447/2014/12/15/advanced

    having taken over 5 hrs to get there from Southall (and done a tour of Kent).

    Gives an idea of the lengthy and complex moves for this type of railtour starting in outlying parts,also very demanding of support crew.

    Yes, presumably these days support crews are also all endurance athletes in full training?

    Straight into the low sun at Clapham High Street. Very brief stop so not many picked up there I fancy.

    On time Bristol 5s did grand job. No diesel and standard roasting from steam heat. Assured they're not turning the train. Will see on way back.

    And in this video from my mate, you can see the Druid, and a Bakabung undertaking the dastardly deed!

    Some passengers do nothing but moan, open the windows, let a bit of fresh air and cinders in....
