    Interesting to note its running with the HE headboard but Olton Hall plates :-k , i suspected it would be devoid of headboard with Olton plates on Sunday but suprised it's not wearing the Hogwarts Castle plates for Saturdays trip.

    Sorry to sound thick, but where is Sutton Park in relation to a timing point on uk steam. Just trying to establish how late it is. Already reported 99 down on here. Hope to catch it at Tilehurst later after OC.

    Thank you both for the info, judging by the Tyseley post, it is now very late. Could possibly stay at Tyseley overnight & continue tomorrow.

    Somebody must of read my mind, as I said I assume it continues tomorrow.
    I presume the original path gets it too late at Southall to prepare it for Saturday.

    What a rip off this trip is £89 and only steam one way but it fails to mention that on their web page.

    Thought I heard it go through Sonning Cutting last night while in the bathroom about 00.20am.
    With all the windows open it's surprising what you can hear !
    Only live a mile away in a straight line from the Sonning Cutting.
    Other half said I was mad & dreaming it ! ](*,)
