    I think "upset" is somewhat strong - it just seemed an odd choice of name for a non-Pullman working which was going well beyond Bournemouth in any case. Quite a minor point, and much more of an observation than a complaint.

    Due to 'an issue' (?) - 60103 Flying Scotsman could not be hauled to Swanage today for it's visit.
    Rail Adventure's HST power cars 43465 & 43484 travelled down from Chaddesden Sidings to the GWS site at Didcot as planned this morning [albeit they seem to have set off very late but made up most of the time en route]: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U07081/2026-10-20/detailed
    In the hopes that 60103's 'issue' will be sorted in time, a new schedule has been created for tomorrow [Wednesday]: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service...1/detailed

    Delayed by a late running SWR Southampton Bournemouth all stations FS arrival also meant the T3 was delayed on the 14:00 service.
    As usual the loco seemed to gather a crowd bot on the platform and in Gilbert Road. DSC_0803.JPG DSC_0810.JPG DSC_0816.JPG
