    Looking (and sounding) good at Welwyn North this morning. Given the weather forecast last night, I hadn't planned on seeing her two days running, but sunlight was on the menu so it felt rude not to go for a slice.

    I *think* I made the right decision to vacate the viaduct position on account of the westerly wind playing with the exhaust....

    Cheers,

    Did it use the flyover in the end? Someone at Ashwell said it didn't.

    Saw it at Wymondham. Going beautifully. By the time my phone camera had woken up it was half way past, so I don't have any photos. Those on the other platform my have had their videos ruined/enhanced by a consist of 3 barely newer DRS diesels heading the other way,either a 47 and 2 37s or vice versa
