    Reversal at Swansea. At least that's what i'd assume.

    Another 20 odd hour hour day :/ Presumably we have a fair bit of time at Swansea judging by those times?

    Ticket arrived. With the train being turned I'm just hoping not to be on the back all the way.

    We're driving back to Mid Wales, so hopefully Mr Churchill will be driving on the return and we can improve on 22.43!!

    Hi Bill. Are you sure about those Wantage Rd times? 90 mins seems rather a long wait, especially if she's got there from Swansea in about 2 hours (c1630 dep. according to another post). Would 1936-2001 be more likely? Cheers!

    Now that will make some noise leaving Warwick Parkway! :bounce:

    I hope I didn't upset anyone at Tyseley by making such a preposterous remark! :bolt:

    Timings on uksteam thanks everyone. http://uksteam.info/tours/t10/t0619c.htm. I'll be setting the alarm clock for this one!
    Very interesting arrangement in terms of locos. 5043 Tyseley to Foxhall Jn, then 6201 to Swansea. But then 5043 runs back LE to Tyseley, and 6201 does the whole return trip, so no loco change on the return.

    Also LE times for 6201 Today are here http://uksteam.info/tours/t10/t0618q.htm.

    ...and PA announcement tells stewards to make sure that no one escapes (rather than explaining to passengers why they can't get off during the 20+ minutes that the train is standing in th platform).
