    Any news of this tour yet this morning? I'll be off to see it near Basingstoke after breakfast, and then probably to Tisbury, depending how the cloud-cover develops.

    It was on time at Clapham.

    Almost looks like a parcels train there's so many non rev vehicles in it... A few mix and match colours too.

    Woking next for me.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Personally I think that's a fine shot - gives a great impression of speed, and the sky almost gives it the look of a painting.

    Have to agree with Sheff, its turned out rather train advertising poster style of the 60's with the swishing blue sky all around ! Could paint shop the light out of the chimney but I do quite like the impression. Painted ??? Pete

    I agree an interesting shot, and it does have that poster look.

    Why two genny vehicles anyway? Looking at the videos you have the deafening BG one & the usual quieter one in the BSK next to it!
