    This was a test run to see how she performs with new injectors which have just been fitted. Somebody mentioned it on the Lunch run with 34067 on Tuesday. Not sure of the routing though.

    Was going to start a new thread on this, but as it has already been mentioned on here I thought I would leave it to save confusion.
    Anyway, a video of 48151 passing Reading West slightly late.

    Saw 48151 a bit late at Mortimer with two support vehicles in tow in between several freight workings. Didn't realise the Reading to Basingstoke line had so many freight movements. Saw 4 in about 45 minutes all hauled by Class 66's.

    The 34067 move was cancelled today does this mean 48151 is doing the return leg on tomorrows trip?

    See the Dorset Coast Express thread. Tangmere is now hauling tomorrow's train both ways as Oliver Cromwell is not very well.

    Lucky you were early enough to catch that one, I arrived at Earlswood only to see her chug past at just after 3 o clock must have been at least 20 minutes early and will miss 4936 on the SE but hope to catch 5029 at Totnes on Sunday and Tornado a little later on.

    The evening return of 4936 was 40 minutes early at Danzey Green. Luckily I arrived early, only waited 5 minutes before it came along. Looked nice backlight by the low sun.

    Does anyone know the outline timings for 45407 Grosmont (NYMR) - Bury next Monday (11th July)? No times on UKSteam yet. Many thanks!

    If anyone is out to see the LE move with 48151 today south of Warrington an update on whether she is running to time would be appreciated please. I will probably go to Winwick or Golborne to see this if the light is good.

    Thanks, Neil.
