    Also on this, really looking forward to it. Likely to be my only mainline steam for rest of the year now, with some good mileage with it.

    Definitely 2 on at the moment. I think the load is 10 plus the 47 as it doesn't look like they brought a POB with them.

    Apparently the POB has a wheel flat.

    66 min according to RTT from PLY to EXD is pretty lively. Obviously nowhere near a record with that motive power up front but why should every run be judged against the best? It seems as though everyone is having a good day out and in other times I would have been on it.

    Actually could have been better! Bad signal check ar Starcross and St Thomas prevented likely 60min run!
