    Appears there's more of a restriction at Aschurch Northbound than South looking at the video's now, still a severe speed restriction is better than not at all.

    Yes, we slowed right down for the return, but if a Hall can get through now anything should.

    With regards to the rather stately progress through Ashchurch on the home leg. I believe their was a 15 mph speed limit through the station. But we did prove that a Hall can get through without demolishing either the station or sheering the cylinder off the engine!! Which augers well for future steam tours that way.

    Interesting to note that it took two Swindon machines to work a load that would have been considered a bit lightweight for a Duchess. :)
