    I am not sure if this move to Ilford tomorrow is steam, but the times suggest it might be.
    Chaddesden 09.02-09.43, Tyseley 11.16-12.10, Oxford UDPL 14.36-15.11, Reading 16.04, Acton ML 17.46-17.58, Ilford 19.10

    6233 was due to return to Butterley from Crewe on 13 June.

    Through Tilehurst 15.55 slowly following a local. There was a lady & small boy out generally watching trains, I think this must of took them by surprise. Wish I took my camera though. Times permitting I might go out & see the return on Friday.

    Thanks - needed considerable work in Photoshop and could probably be done better.
