    I spent a fantastic 5 hours at Didcot GWS yesterday Wednesday 28th May for one of their steaming days of the Rival Reunited festival featuring 4079 Pendennis Castle & 60103 Flying Scotsman.
    I didn't arrive till about 10:55am earliest i could get there from Huddersfield (05:55 first train of the day) so i missed the 4 locos lined up together,

    including a video taken on my phone of 60103 Flying Scotsman on the demonstration line
