    Great itinerary here, BUT, what's the betting there'll be a box on the back ?

    Odds anyone ?

    I really dislike diesels tagging on the back of steam charters but in this case if it means that the train will reach it's destination, it's not a bad thing. <BJ>

    Train Heat would be all I could think of, you could go over the South Devon Banks unassisted with that load so Honiton and Whiteball woulden't be an issue.

    I'm guessing that you are basing that on the letter from RTC which lists the passenger carrying vehicles - you have noted that you need to add the support coach, but there may also be a kitchen car and a brake vehicle to add.

    Reported 46mins late through Axminster. Initial delay was due to preceding Gloucester-Weymouth service which was held up by about 15 mins between Trowbridge and Westbury. Not sure why.
