    Fatality was reported at Southall. I expect there's going to be a huge backlog.

    Are we surprised? Suspect that there will now be an inevitable bit of 'progress management' to get this trip up north in a timely manner.

    That is probably just how RTT is interpreting the times.

    Is that because you are assuming a water stop at Kettering? UK Steam timings show no water stop before Barrow Hill, but that surely isn't possible. The equivalent run last year took water at both Brent Curve and Kettering, though it did take the longer route via Melton Mowbray.

    (Edit. Well, you were right anyway, whatever the cause. Away at 10.41.)

    Was going well at West Langton, though it was getting a bit of shove on the downhill run towards Wigton ! Enjoy =)
