    It's probably getting warmed up ready for The West Highlander on 10th. Just in case.

    I hope not, as I understand it the main reason for using 46115 was that a 5 was not really powerful enough for some of the route.

    It's been done and I've been on it. Load dependent of course but would you trust a long legged loco like 46115 in the first place.

    Your microphones are very good as I don't recall her making as much noise as that this morning.

    I was stood down to your right talking to another man (who funnily enough turned out to be a driver in Worcester) to get my shot, also at Wrenbury:

    Yes that's right. Thanks for the comment, it's not a bad location at Wrenbury.
