    Around 14 minutes down over the Thames at Richmond and the slowest crossing I've seen at this location. Clan Line glided over in a stately manner...with a little bit of company:

    Clan Line reported on Twitter about 24 mins after those pics were taken: "13 down owing to signals and speed restrictions."

    No 67 on the back, not very often that happens

    Yes. I'm probably wide of the mark but is that a "Northern Belle" carriage on the back?

    No box on the back today so probably had to work a bit harder to pull that load away from the Shalford stop.
    Two rare events today, no box and Clan Line actually giving us a whistle!

    All of the last three coaches look somewhat peculiar TBH, don't recall seeing a Pullman livery (non-genny) Mk.1 in the formation before. It has been a while since I last went out for the VSOE, but it didn't have that read end formation then.



    The last carriage does look Northern Belle-ish to my eyes, never having seen said train outside photographs / video
