    ...and now 70013 not Braunton. But what's the view of Network Rail (Eastern) as it seems that the running of steam, or not, in this dry weather hinges on regional decision making.

    2 hours 46 minutes in from Peterborough Al!

    Albeit with a rather long water stop on the way.

    It's going to be very hot tomorrow. I'd be surprised if Ollie is going to run. UK Steam Info seem to think there's no risk. We'll see. Barry

    The 47 has been assisting in a few places, notably departing poters bar and the water stop at holme.

    You can hear the 47 burbling but not doing much on the video at Offord.

    Reversal could be interesting if they were both on the other end!
