    Looking at the times on UK Steam, Dorridge or Snow Hill look good.

    It's possible this could be late.

    There was a light engine movement Southall - Southall via Greenford I assumed to turn 70013, as I'm not sure what else would have needed to be turned today. However there was a problem affecting the Greenford branch earlier until about 1350, meaning the light engine move was late getting back to Southall.

    Afraid I can't say anymore as my relief arrived.....

    Cheers, Phil

    I'll try a shot to nothing off the platform at Tyseley, hoping the relatively slow speed entering the yard combined with a low shutter speed might produce a reasonable result.

    I am hoping to see 70013 at Blakedown at approx 22:10 or something like that, the lighting is not too bad around there, hopfully a quick shutter speed will give me an ok result. Fingers crossed!
