    Doesn't look like 45212 has used the projected path from Weymouth to Bristol. Let's hope it ultimately makes tomorrow's Royal Duchy. A lot of effort has gone in with that goal.

    45212 passing Upwey nearly 1 hour late.
    The delay meant the rain had passed and the sun had come out about 5 minutes before, so I was on the wrong side by then. The delay also managed to screw 2V72 the GWR Weymouth Gloucester service which is currently 45 late at Bruton. The Black 5 still showing at Pen Mill presumably awaiting the southbound 2080 to arrive such is the length of the single line sections.
    Edit
    Or maybe more issues based on @free2grice post

    Seen at Maiden Newton where a certain amount of attention was given to a tender axlebox. I assumed they were just being careful and ensuring it was well lubricated.

    Cheers, Neil
