    Stratford upon Avon is notoriously difficult to get away from and always has been. It's the same load as the 8F had and so the challenge will be greater. But as I said, at least the weather will help.

    Anyone would think that you are doubting the ability of the loco and crew.

    I can definitely agree with you on that one Liam, here is my footage of 45699 roaring up Wilmcote Bank on the return leg.

    Pubbed it myself. Every other place is Greene King (IPA: the beer that starts where most others end - from a sign in the Glue Pot, Swindon). Nice bit of Jubilee roar on the return, and there was absolutely no problem with the climb on the return.
