    I see both the Swanage Belle (reported to have 45305 in charge) and the VSOE to Oxford with 35028 Clan Line are both running via Clapham Junction, Staines and Virginia Water this Saturday morning, scheduled to be less than half an hour apart.

    Less than an hour apart on the return, too, when 70013 Oliver Cromwell is pulling the Swanage Belle back.

    Sounds worth turning out for....

    Hello Steve,

    Is there anywhere that you would recommend around the Virgina Water / Egham / Staines area?

    Ron.

    Isn't 5043 going to be tender first after being in Stratford at that point?

    No, 5043 works tender first from Tyseley to STratford, where the train reverses, so chimney first Stratford - Banbury - Didcot. HTH.
