    Ah yes silly me I forgot the triangle!!
    Watched Olly through Newbury Racecourse and was surprised when she pulled up and dropped off passengers!!. I'm told it was routed through line at Newbury hence the stop. Double stop in fact in order to let off a wheelchair passenger.
    And yes looked great pulling away from Theale.

    Were you at the "far end" at Theale when it pulled away? I might of spoken to you there or the car park.

    A few screenshots from my videos today, seen at Crofton, Patney, the water stop at Woodborough and stomping up through Pewsey Station.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    A friend was on this run and said there was a bit of a panic on the train when it got routed through the centre road at Newbury!

    I can well believe that! The driver should really have stopped and queried the road rather than going straight through (or maybe he did so and there was an operational reason why they could go into the platform).
