    Be difficult to blame the steam for today’s fire on the WCML though. All steam seems to have ran round no issue.

    As somebody sat on the VT train to Birmingham. I did briefly start to sing "we didn't start the fire"

    You've got to find humour in these moments

    I was hoping to catch 7029 with the return Cathedrals Express this evening but, thanks to the signalling problems caused by a lineside fire near Acton Bridge, she was held at Huyton for around 2 hours. I did however catch a shot of her at Whiston, on the back of the ECS returning to Lime Street from Warrington after turning and servicing.
