    Did his make it all the way to the Greenford Triangle? It seems to have turned using the Drayton Green triangle, and then hiding itself in the Plasser works at Hanwell.

    Upon review, It looks like it did make it all the way. Where I saw it hiding was short of the junction, and not in the works - Optical illusion.

    She certainly did! watched her turn on the triangle from the footbridge at Castle Bar - I think the crew wanted to get to Southall asap, as there was plenty of whistling going on, aimed I presume at the signalbox! :)

    Indeed!

    Going down the A40 would get you there a LOT quicker....................................... which is the way T'other Dave took........................... A40 = empty road...................... Southall/Uxbridge Road = gridlock!!

    According to the Preston Station Gen she is doing a loaded test run on the usual 5Z50 loop. Guess we'll know for sure if & when the path gets activated.

    5Z50 has indeed been activated this morning, so unless WCRC is test running something else I assume it's been activated for 61264 to do a loaded test run.
