    ....Yes. Another excellent diesel-free run from 45212.

    Thanks for this. Out of interest, where are these locations?

    I saw her at Curzon Bridge (MP30, just beyond Pirbright Junction) and again in the evening as she approached Guildford Road, Frimley (having passed the original location of Sturt Lane Junction, near MP32)

    My footage of yesterday's run, filmed at Battledown Flyover on the outward run, then Winterbourne Dauntsey on the return. I hope you enjoy it! :)

    Some footage from Curzon Bridge and Frimley Green (video left running while I concentrate on still shots)

    It seems 10 May PBO-WIN has been cancelled, probably due to the mission-like status of the timings; despite this, having yet to cover the Hertford Loop by steam, I was interested. No matter, as the Bank Manager will be happy.

    The Bank Manager may be slightly less happy with 2 June, which sees a trip from London to Portsmouth Harbour, and it seems a few changes have been made since I last looked. It is now expected to depart from Victoria, head to Streatham North Junction, then pass through Tooting before joining the SWML at Wimbledon, then heading down the Portsmouth Direct Line. If the Tooting section works (I am informed that this was a regular route for SD in the past), then it is quite a neat way of avoiding the usual plod around Staines.

    I'm a little skeptical about whether it will steam into Portsmouth Harbour, as I am under the impression that there's a weight restriction at the end of the line? The only sticking point is the turning trip afterwards, which involves a lot of diesel drags around Hampshire/Wiltshire. Anyway, certainly interested and might take a punt.

    I thought that there was also a gauging issue with steam at Tooting. It has been an issue for some time now with an exit route from Victoria to the SWML that avoids Staines.

    Has there been any engineering work on that stretch recently? Is a Black Five gauge-friendly enough? Time will tell.

    That presumes West Coast's having any inclination to bring her down south. They surely have ample reason to keep her for working trips up north.

    Email: 45212 and FS are set to double-head from Victoria to Carnforth on Monday, sans box. Blimey.

    Helpful to get 45212 up north to go back to its owners for the 50th anniversary gala later in the week.

    A quick shot of 45212 near South Marston, working the return of yesterday's Cathedrals Express to Cardiff. I hope you enjoy it!

    How will this affect the timings with the Black 5 limited to 60?

    As others have mentioned before, that's meaningless - the speed/weight figure is put into NR's system to create a slower path to account for steam locomotives accelerating more slowly than diesel/electric trains and doesn't correspond to the limit/weight of the train itself.

    True but the Black 5 is a 60mph limited loco where I believe that FS is a 75 mph loco so it must impact on the trip in some way I would have thought.
