    Indeed. I might have to pop out and see it, as it's a novelty to get something on the south end of the WCML and on my doorstep.

    Oliver Cromwell was due to run Saturday evening from Southall at 19:45 to Kings Cross at 21:30ish. It in fact left about an hour early due to the engine being the wrong way around after missing Wednesdays trip to Weymouth. It was turned on Greenford loop. Is now sitting at Kings Cross overnight. I believe running this move on Saturday evening was required due to the North London Line being closed for engineering works on Sunday 23rd. (edit)
    At least the early comers to Kings Cross get to see the engine (instead of an empty platform) which is good. Engine is off the end of Platform 1. Have a good day.
