Tornado just passed Kings Langley, at about 20:35 (approx 10 minutes late?), on fast line in fading light and not hanging about.
Does anyone know why both the slow lines were not in use, with all traffic using the fast ones?

 

And we arrived pretty much on time perhaps one minute down as I didn't check my watch. Apart from a short signal check the run from Milton Keynes into Euston was very spirited as was the use of the whistle through most stations south of MK and on arrival into Euston.

Great day, great loco which made the 13 coach load look like a light Bristolian rake.

Look forward to seeing timings on here on in certain Railway publications.

 

A couple more shots added on the return journey.

Video from Chester now uploaded. Very similar to Mike's as we were just a few feet apart!

Im surprised there are no videos on youtube yet of her going up Camden Bank, she seems to have done so unassisted so presumably made quite a racket.
