    Noticed there are a set of Crewe Chester paths as VAR on Thursday too. Chester activity doesn't suggest turning though.

    Nice stuff, Jubilees can be noisy beggers even light engine backwards!

    It doesn't matter in the big scheme of things and owners prerogative and all that but the fact that she seems to rarely ever run as 45699 Galatea these days just gets peculiarly on my nerves.
