    The trip may have had a catalogue of issues, as did I trying to film it (all of my own doing). This is my salvaged footage from Micheldever on the down, and West Byfleet on the up

    Not impressed by the idiot waving both arms above his head at West Byfleet - never a good signal for train crews!

    Well. at least there won't be a debate about how much the diesel was assisting on the return leg!

    Reports on Facebook said that the Scot apparently had a TPWS fault whilst working the ECS to Southall, hopefully this should be a quick fix in time for tomorrows trip to Minehead & the other tours its booked for whilst down south

    My footage from yesterday - 46115 was captured at Byfleet and New Haw (highlight of the day for me!), Winchester, Foxhills (tender first and hauling the 33!) and at speed through Andover.

    Even though the scot had to lead tender first, Didnt mean the 33 wasn't shoving on the way back, Was only an Aws fault so didnt mean it couldnt power inside the train which it did, Eg the scot did not seem to be doing any work up parkstone was all the little sulzer on the inside. 33 seemed to be thrashing away most of the day,

    46115 was certainly doing some of the work up Parkstone Bank as very noticeable when driver shut off steam once over the top of the bank and heading towards Branksome. The speed was noticeably quicker than when same 33 was leading back from Weymouth last weekend with Galatea doing little or nothing towards the top of the bank. 46115 may not have been working that hard but was definitely contributing to the effort and driver would certainly have been mindful of the first water stop being at Basingstoke so had to be careful of water supplies.
    Nice to hear the 33 again though - miss them locally!

    Tried a different approach, 46115 going in and out of the shadows just east of Brentford station.
