Ford Bridge Crossing south of Leominster this afternoon. Going like the clappers.

 

Another 12 mk2's Burton to Carnforth today.

 

2 of the 12 were fitted with those new sliding window jobs, and 2 were MK1 kitchens including the Chocolate and Cream one. 1 was a MK1 BG coach (Possible generator car?) So a healthy mix for WCR

 

homeward bound ?
