THE CORONATION 15-17 MAY.

Typical!

 

Enjoy the Ibis Mark, it's right opposite a 24 hour Tescos! You can stock up on food before the trip!

I'll probably be out somewhere for it first thing in the morning, hopefully it is 07.25 path, same as last year.

 

Tickets arrived this morning.

Off the Cross at 0715, arr York just before Midday. Depart York 1403 arr Edinburgh 1859. Taking mum away for a weekend on this one so no Ayr trip for me.

 

yes so did our's very earley start booked into hotel friday night, as can't get there that time from northampton on saturday.

 

Time machine in use.

 

Just found out it's cheper for us to go Banbury -London than Northampton - London , and why so many diffrent fares.?

 

Hmm, I finish work at 6am on Saturday morning, departure from King's Cross is at 07.16. Start work on Monday evening at 9pm, arrival at King's Cross is at 20.00. I think my commute home on Saturday and back again on Monday is sorted! Much better than the usual class 365!

 

Yer Barred!

 

don't forget your wet weather gear mark, sunday loos like it is going to be a bit wet on the west coast

 

Couple of minutes down away from Stevenage after a tedious run along the slow line from Ally Pally.

 

Saw it first storming through Welwyn North and then managed to chase it to near Biggleswade. Sound and video boys must be loving the helicopter following it.

 

A mix of slow and fast running so far 3 min down at grantham , hope she lets rip after grantham, buck fizz for breakfast then losts of tea and coffee.can't be bad.

 

How many tenders?

 

Both tenders in use.

 

Cheers. Might make a difference to where I photograph it later, so thanks.

 

One from Harringey earlier this morning:

 

Looking good at York - Highland Chieftain northwwards to see if there is any light

You can't get back from Edinburgh after 19.00 on a Saturday night
