    Opposite earlier at Lorton Lane. First time I've ever been on my own there for a down steam special and nobody visible on Upwey Stn either despite a fair weather day today. Shame I couldn't stay out today for the up run

    Bittern, running slightly down behind a late running stopper.

    I tried a different angle this time compared to the last, to say it is tight is an understatement - made even tighter due to the explosion in growth of the trees....................... I wonder how long it will be before the damn things start striking cab windows and Network Rail actually get out there and prune the bleeding things back?
