    Very nice, Ian. Well done. I especially like how you managed to get get the rods at the bottom (wink, wink).

    Earlier in the day I wanted to film the train heading to Bristol so stood next to the A4 dual-carriageway near Bath, between the Globe pub and Newbridge. Normally the A4 is such a busy road that it is impossible to hear the train approaching as the traffic is deafening. But today the road had been closed to road traffic for the Bath half marathon. At 2pm when the train was due the only sounds were of the occasional family out for a 'quiet' walk or the sounds of birds. It was an eerie feeling but when the train passed in glorious light, it was a very good feeling. For once I could actually hear the train from Oldfied Park, Bath to Saltford. Happy days. <BJ>

    Through New Malden on the return 37 down at 21:07. Quite glad I didn't ride it in the end! Anyone know why it was so late?

    Reason for delay on return working : Allegedly stopped at Farnborough Main for the driver to inspect the loco.

    Cheers, Neil

    I saw 44932 three times and luckily the drain cocks were behaving themselves each time.

    The reason for a delay was a "split atomiser pipe" (I think those were the words used). We stopped at Farnborough for the support crew to check the problem and, possibly effect some sort of temporary repair, then continued on to the booked water stop at Brookwood where it was decided that the loco was OK to continue through to Waterloo.
