    Hullo,

    Two things:
    1 - My girlfriend saw a steam loco today light engine at Bristol Parkway, I presume it was Bittern (although not how she described it to me)

    2 - Was there a stock movement from Bristol Temple Meads today?? I was at Temple Meads and saw the heritage stock there, and about and hour and a half later I saw it going through Bath Spa. Any ideas where its going, and more importantly, what was moving it?

    Any pictures of either??

    Taaaa!

    what colour was the stock??

    if it was maroon, it was probably a class 47 on the front and destined for southall/carnforth. If it was cream coloured with brown/red/blue, then it was probably hauled by a class 67 destined for eastleigh or elsewhere.
