    I would have thought that that time was 6201 leaving with its support coach, there is still the "at platform" note, probably referring to the coaches and 47, which, if Lizzie has been detached, will have to wait either for a diesel from Southall to hook on the front, or for the tail loco to run round. Can't guarantee that to be correct, but that is what I can deduce from RTT

    I guess they may have put the passengers on the service train to waterloo, and sent Lizzie straight to Southall. No idea why though.

    Almost certainly a RIDDOR but I'm not sure who would be responsible for reporting it! Nobody might have known about it to report it if the video hadn't been published.

    Unable to take water at Ascot, defective bowser. Loco straight to Southall, train diesel hauled to Victoria.

    Is that a crown attached to the nameplate? Is that new or did she have it before?

    New. And a new brass plate on the front splasher. For what it's worth I don't think the crown fits comfortably with the shape of the nameplate.

    A couple of shots from me of yesterday's run. Firstly, at Crofton (yes, another one :p) and, secondly, roaring away at Bruton in the evening.

    A bit late but here’s my video, taken at Cogload Junction on both the outward and return runs. Not a great pan on the first clip but good sound as 6201 pulls away from a signal check. On the second clip 6201 is heard a long way off before appearing.

    Lovely video; that track at Witham looked dodgy, even allowing for a zoom lens!

    I assume they've done what the PRCLT did with 6233 which is have a set of crowns made up to signify that it hauled the Royal Train with the Queen on board.

    I think that's rankled with the Lizzie group for some time that 46233 was the first to have the privilege of hauling Liz and Phil on the Royal train in the modern era and wear those crowns. rather than the loco that bears her name. I think these have acted as a spur to Lizzie's group, so their loco too can wear a similier embellishment, and fair play they did it and in a jubilee year too!
