    Not quite what I intended, or indeed where I intended to go! I had planned to go to Wymondley to see 60163 climbing away from Hitchin, but the clouds looked fairly menacing when I left home, so I decided to head towards the Cambridge branch. A combination of idiot drivers and a magical mystery tour of Potton due to roadworks meant I missed it by 5 minutes near Royston. Mad dash down the A1(M) to Digswell, where the sun was out and the sky behind the viaduct was black. Sadly, despite the late running, and being put on to the fast, 60163 drifted across the viaduct. Not even a wisp of steam out of the safety valves!

    I was out for this. Twice.

    I filmed the Ely run at Gospel Oak.

    I filmed the Tonbridge run at Oakleigh Park. Tornado was certainly shifting.
