    I thought the gesture by LSL last Saturday to run a class 40 from Crewe to Taunton to replace steam power was very commendable. The class 40 proved to be a popular alternative. <BJ>

    Yes, staff on today's train say they had no complaints of note, and there has been at least one 5 star Trip Advisor review from passengers. If I'd have been on it, I wouldn't have minded having a 40 instead of steam either.

    A sympathetic touch at the WSR today. All locomotives, including 45212, are adorned with wreaths in respect of those involved in the local school bus crash earlier in the week. The young child that was tragically killed and several children that were injured attended Minehead Middle school. [BJ]

    RTT shows ECS for Royal Duchy leaving Southall Saturday morning, which is usual.

    The Buxton Spa does also seem to have gone from any websites now, except Railway Herald so I guess that’s fallen casualty to lack of locos.

    Not a problem. I see no reason why Tornado can't trundle off on its own from York after coming off the Tynesider and drop down overnight to Bristol for a service and be ready to go with the Royal Duchy. All is possible provided that the support crews are up to it.

    Indeed the locomotives were so adorned and it pleasing to see that 45212 carried a tribute as well. I was not surprised as the WSR is very much part of the life of Minehead and Exmoor.
