    Can't see anything started on this yet.
    Believe 61306 "Mayflower" is still pencilled-in for this tour.
    Incoming [1Z67]: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U63766/2015/07/16/advanced
    Outgoing [1Z69]: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U63767/2015/07/16/advanced
    Details of Swanage Railway timings awaited but may be slightly different from those proposed by Network Rail above.
    Purely from a lineside fire risk point of view some rain fell yesterday (Sunday) in Purbeck with more forecast during Monday and, possibly, Tuesday so steam should not be 'banned' - hopefully.

    Well we have had more then enough rain to negate any fire risk, the path is up in RTT, all we need now is the loco. I assume Mayflower has passed the FTR and will be heading this show?

    RTT shows it steadily losing time so I assume it is Mayflower. ;)

    OMG! Suppose Tangmere is on it instead! :eek:

    Yes and the SWT to Weybridge that is following it and therefore running late seems to manage to stop everywhere and is still delayed. No recovery time at Addlestone Junction either.

    Arrived and departed Winchfield water stop around 10 late. 37 on back did not seem to pushing as it left. The following service train was delayed around 8 mins.
    Charter appeared to be well loaded with only a handful of spare seats.

    She certainly seemed to have a full head of steam up.

    Video of departure from Vic shows no steam from cocks or chimney at all. 37 was doing all the work and was opened right up as it passed the platform end. Plenty of EE clag as the turbos wound up.

    It was blowing off on the approach to Clapham, though as @OldGit said, it did seem *very* claggy (see post 14#).

    Here is the story of my all day chase of Mayflower

    The uphill approach to Ashurst - New Forest, a station that must have the most extreme cant I have ever seen,



    A very fast dash required to get the departure from the next station, Beaulieu Road



    The return leg, a totally unplanned shot, this area was supposed to be a recce for future reference but turned out to be too good to move on, the weather and light was as near damn perfect as it gets and its probably going to be my best shot of the year. If you don't watch any of the other videos - watch this one - Big screen, volume cranked up



    And the bonus shot, got home in time to park up and film this in the dark
