    The LSL test run to Chester escaped me but making a move for GB XI 60103 heads for London and Thursday's start. In the dull today but before the rain started again.

    No consolation I know, but you weren't the only one to miss them. After they left Castleton a car pulled up and two chaps got out with cameras. They, understandably, looked peed off when I told them they'd missed 'em by less than a minute!

    60103 passed Kings Langley and was not put in the Goods Loop, so it should have been early at Watford Junction.

    You should check with RTT before setting out...... These sort of movements often run early.

    Cantering through Cononley looking and sounding superb. Three cyclists wheeled by just afterwards-overheard one saying to the others "That's Royal Scot heading for the Keighley and Worth Valley........"

    Further up Cononley Brow a tractor driver (without stopping) asked “What was that then?”, I shouted the name in reply and got a thumbs up but I don't think it meant anything to him!!

    60103 meant to be heading to ELR light from York this evening. The path was there this morning, but now disappeared. Is she still running?
    Any ideas?
