    There are some nice spots between Llandovery and Llandeilo.

    Outside Llandovery there is nice shot of it crossing river Towy, there are also a couple of farm crossing that will give you a few shots at speed. I was lucky enough to go on a organised walk over Cynghordy viaduct at the weekend there must be some good shots possible from the hills above there as hey have been cleared of their forestry trees.

    I personally will be picking my little boy up from nursery and watching it go past at the old Glanyryd Station.

    Also don’t forget to call in to Llandovery station and have a cuppa to support the volunteers run station café!

    Very nice visuals. Can anybody explain why those damned Stanier draincocks are so prone to leaking?

    37xxx and 47760 are at Grange over Sands. No Steam..... not sure if this is the case down to Crewe or just to Carnforth.

    There isn’t any time on the path down for a loco change at 10A. Looks like a 47+37 to crewe

    I assume that the Merchant is possibly not gauged between Carnforth and Grange yet?

    Glad I didn't take the little un through to Grange to see a steam engine as planned this morning! :D

    Interesting to see several passengers on the sleeper at Slocht watching GBXI come past. Maybe the train manager had alerted them.
    Anyone able to identify the female on the Jubilee's footplate in that clip?

    Support crew member perhaps? In these enlightened times we do have women working on steam locos as much as they work elsewhere in the railway industry. But are you sure she wants to be identified to the world at large through the medium of Nat Pres?

    Has she been held up? No RTT updates since Warrington Bank Quay and the few service trains that have come past Acton Bridge are crawling

    Apparently there's a fault with the signalling at Acton Bridge, causing delays between Warrington and Crewe.
