    Little theatrics from 34028 at Hasland this afternoon; understandable given the conditions, but still nice to see her on the mainline for the first time nonetheless!

    The sports ground just to the west of the station. Come down the hill, over the level crossing and take the first road on the left.

    Eddystone seen taking on rare track as she heads over the Marston Vale line, and then even more rarely going over the Chiltern mainline passed Wembley stadium, which was literally up following the FA cup semi-final between Southampton and Manchester City:
