Waterloo Sunset - 09/07/17

Forgot to mention that this was filmed on my I-Phone 6S which not only provided a reasonably sharp image but also coped with the phone wobble because I had zoomed. The image stabaliser is quite amazing.

 

Brief spot of sunshine.

 

Thank you for some fabulous photos/videos of such a special day- no doubt many more to come!
This was Vauxhall, hoping desperately CLAN LINE would evade the constant up and down stream of emus- which she did. Phew!

Great run down. Woking to sigs stop outside Salisbury in under even time and that with a 10 tsr at Basingstoke. Wayne Thompson and Clan Line at their very best. 79 Andover and 68 over Grateley with 465 tons What a way to celebrate the 59th Anniversary

 

According to rtt it left Sherborne 5 minutes early. I hope no one was left behind.

 

We actually left late. loco went passed signal and stopped on level crossing. The train reversed behind the signal before we departed.

 

I think the RTT time is taken from when she passed the signal (which was done when the train pulled in.) We finally left around 5 minutes late but that produced a cracking run to Salisbury!

Some shots from Frimley Green and Tisbury today

 

Two shots , one at Templecombe and one just outside the village . The volunteers at the station were selling Clan Line fridge magnets , etched glasses to commemorate the end of Southern Steam and coffee for only 50p . They do a great job looking after their station .

 

Worthing Junction giving an absolutely wonderful display of power!

 

Clan Line sounded absolutely superb climbing Buriton this evening, will hopefully upload some footage shortly.

 

A very muted departure from Haslemere 13 late and seems to have lost another 14 mins between there and Guildford. Some kind of problem? I hope not.

 

Signal problems.

 

No we didn't, get facts right before posting please. It had been agreed by all concerned that 'if' the signal had was 'off' when we ran in, we could run the loco and support coach off the platform so that as many coaches as possible could be platformed. This is a regular thing done here.
Unfortunately, we couldn't move her at departure time. After much effort we managed to get her to set back a few feet, just enough to get forward momentum. Definitely not back over the level crossing, which would have been 150 plus feet.

 

Stonking through Milford, 16 minutes late by then and looked like it was trying to make up time but was going to run into the yellows of the stopper now in front. Looks like I could have stopped at West Byfleet and filmed it there as well as it turns out

 

My efforts at Hook are now on Flickr. This is the link if anyone would like to see them:

+1. What a superb finale to the Anniversary events. Thank you to all involved today. Another magnificent run with 35028 on the 9th July.
