    Picture from this morning here. Sounding very nice as it left Bristol behind but of course the sun was out as the train disappeared into the distance.

    Best regards,

    Re: Te Royal Duchy 2012

    Absolutely fantastic day yesterday,one of the finest trips ever over the banks in both directions,particularly the return. It's really worth a trip for those who missed out,very good to have something new on a Sunday!


    Thanks to Nigel,Ray and all at RTC for putting this series of trains on,also thanks to Ray Churchill,Pete Roberts,Craig Stinchcombe and all other members of the WCRC/45305 group that made it such a good trip.

    Cheers,
    Mark
