    What a wonderful stunning photo of Bittern Keith, the snow and icy conditions certainly enhance steam photography.

    Oh you are kidding! I was on 23.06 from KGX this evening. I only just made it, otherwise I would've been on 23.22 and seen 60019!

    So what happened? Rumours of 60019 having to 'refuel' at Cambridge on Stevenage platform last night.

    We were delayed between Norwich and Ely by due to football fans causing problems on the preceding service train. As a result of the delay, 60018 had to take water at Cambridge which involved detaching the loco and support coach and back through to the north end of the station.

    Wow, I didn't realize "Sparrow Hawk" was still with us, looks like there is some truth in those rumours about the strategic reserve!
