    That's very good news indeed. On UK steam the times show Staines, Addlestone Junction, Surbiton, Woking, etc etc. That's surely not possible to get from Staines to Woking via Surbiton - it is impossible without reversing at Clapham Junction - or have I missed something?

    Not only that, Tornado is now a time machine. Check the time quoted for Surbiton....

    You could go UP from Weybridge, and run around at Surbiton!

    Its a typo.

    Think I'll pop along and have a look at the new Reading station and Tornado at the same time.

    Tornado looked very good passing through Bradford-on-Avon this morning.
    12 coaches today. The train passed at 11:19, the rain started at 11:20. <BJ>

    I might pop down as well, if I remember.
    A few changes going on there as well, a new footbridge is being built at the opposite end of the station & the old stone bike/goods shed has been demolished to make room for it.

    According to ukSteam it will be passing Reading through platform 14. I assume that is one of the new ones right over the back.
    Slight update, RTT says P15 at Reading, could be either.
