    Was at Moor Street Station from about 10.15 to 15.40 travelling on the 12.30 which returned at 13.30. Various problems: miserable weather, horrible new parking machines at Kidderminster, camera jamming during departure of first train, and a 68-hauled Marylebone train failing in platform 3 during the morning.
    But It was an enjoyable day after that, reminiscing with friendly Brummies for much of the time. As others have said, organization was very good with zig-zag barriers guarding the approach to Platform 4.

    Enjoying seeing people's photos of Scotsman over this past week. Nice to see that Scotsman is out where she should be, on the mainline.

    Have literally just seen it being pushed (unsurprisingly) through Solihull.

    Typically being pushed and pulled round by a diesel, though.

    Going off RTT times for last weekend's Stratford trips, it should be roughly as follows -
    • Outward - departs Moor Street at 1:42pm, arrives at Stratford at 3:02pm
    • Return - departs Stratford at 4:52pm, arrives back at Moor Street at 5:55pm

    The departure should be on your ticket email you received when you booked. Either way, its 13.30 departure from Snow Hill.

    Presuming it uses the same path as last week it got back around 17.55 (later than previously advertised).

    Hope you enjoy your trip tomorrow, very much looking forward to mine.
    The timings look identical to RTT on 14th February.
