    Load 10 and no diesel. The Duchess looked lovely in the sun at Gloucester.

    I was at the tunnel entrance, looked a breeze for her and hardly any noise, apart from a sticking drain cock

    That's a shame. Just been told we've lost Ray for the return. Reason unknown....

    Still not left Gloucester yet according to RTT. I can imagine a fair few passengers are starting to look at connections right about now. What was already a late arrival back could now be much later!

    If the Duchess is fixed what I would do to limit the delays would be Duchess to Milton Jn. and replace with Diesel. Hope not I was planning on catching it at Twyford.

    A good idea, but looking at the current signalling diagram for Milton Jn, I don't know if it would work. Didcot it would be feasible for a loco change.
    It's up to GW Route and WCRC control to fix something clever.

    Cheers, Neil
