    Fairly plain sailing so far, with a nice stretch of fast running south of Madeley. Useful to get a Bulleid between Piccadilly and Crewe. Currently at Stafford.

    After the Stafford stop approaching Colwich Junction and catching the light at Weetmans Bridge. The second shot would have shown more of the cobbled bridge surface but for the sudden arrival of a Tesco van :Arghh:, why do they always turn up at the wrong time ?

    Overall, an enjoyable run that achieved an ambition of mine to link up the various chunks of Bulleid haulage on the steam map. Fairly bucolic scenery on the Varsity Line, and the earthworks for HS2 were massive in scale. We seemed to stop at Claydon E Jc for servicing, which confused the schedule a bit. Thanks to everyone who made it all happen.

    I think that the plan always was to stop at the NR access point at Steeple Claydon where the old station crossing used to be. Not reflected in RTT but WC knew what they were doing !

    Funny to think 6 years ago the once mothballed trackbed was used as a path by the locals and dog walkers, how times have changed ey
