    We've lost all the original posts, so I'll start a new thread for this one.

    An excellent run by Tornado in the morning, despite the problem on departure from Victoria. This resulted in running 35 minutes late at some points on the journey, but the train pulled into Victoria just 15-20 minutes down on booked arrival. Load was 13 coaches plus a switched off Class 67.

    I saw it again in the evening at South Croydon as it was accelerating away from East Croydon.

    A few pictures are attached.

    Regards,

    Dan

    Did she start with the A1 Trust headboard because I saw another pic from Saturday with it but seems to have the Cath Ex later on. Should have gone to Tonbridge because I got 3 pictures but not gereat because she and her support coach stopped past the platform at Edenbridge making decent photos impossible. I got a video but the sun was in the way for most of it and my finger for a bit as well.. People were asking the support crew if they would back her up but this was rejected.

    The headboard was changed at Woking on the way out - the chief engineer walked through with them from and to the support coach!
