    The 66 wasn't dead and it gave a bit of assistance from just before Old Hill station into the tunnel. Somebodyspoke to the diesel driver who said he started pushing when the speed dropped below 20 mph and shut off when it was back up to 25 mph, so not a lot of assistance (compared to some others tours I've been on)

    Got up early yesterday morning to see 60163 at Dudswell, near Tring.

    Pity the weather was fairly dull.

    She was running about 10 minutes early at this stage.
