“Good morning from the Lane. Time to build the fire for today’s trip"

Oh well. Not to be. 9 Car IET. Think park benches are more comfortable.

 

That information is posted on the FB page before every Clan Line trip

 

Thanks Al, I have looked at Google Earth but sometimes the scene on the goround doesn't look as good as on the satellite image. I will just have to go and look

 

I'll be in Coach D, seat 3B if anyone cares to come and say hallo.

 

There seems to be the gentlest of climbs to Islip but once through the cutting I expect the driver will shut off in preparation for the stop at Oxford Parkway, which is only a mile or so beyond. There are a couple of other new road bridges between Bicester and Islip. The best bet is probably the one leading to Oddington Grange, though the east wind will blow the rain onto the lens.

 

Thanks I'll have a look at that and keep my fingers crossed about the rain

 

Not when it fails a FTR....as if..

 

Challenge accepted!

 

Odd pathing just now at Oxford Parkway - 25E, then 2E at Woodstock Road Jct!

 

Water stop at Oxford Parkway Station.

 

Filmed at Denham:

 

Was the water not taken then? I was wondering why it left there 25 early. According to RTT it spent only a quarter of a minute there.

 

Water was taken there, loco just past the end of the platform. Did not leave 25 early.

 

My footage of the engine through Gerrards Cross

 

A quick shot from me at Oddington, as well as a couple of 60009 from this past week. I hope you enjoy the video!

 

Another bad weather day with flat light but it's not far from home and here's the best I could do at Saunderton Summit and Radley

Nice to meet you at Denham this morning. Here's my effort from that grey morning:
