    I've just telephoned the MHR and have been advised that the 9F will haul the goods train tomorrow.
    Does anyone have any timings for this service please? <BJ>

    Many thanks. With news of 'Manston' failing at the WSR, the Mid-Hants has to be the best option. <BJ>

    Looks good; I do like the container on the Conflat.

    It was a good day for freight workings in the south; after a bit of an intense week working on them we had a 10-wagon freight pottering about all day too.

    Very nice photograph. Well done. Good to meet you yesterday.

    What a superb day. 'Lord Nelson' and 'Cheltenham' hauling the service trains with 9F 92212 hauling a series of goods trains. Good time keeping. Beautiful weather. Never a dull moment.

    Indeed. Nice to have met you Hampshire Unit. That's a very nice shot of the 9F.
    It was quite a day for meeting people. Steamage was also in attendance.
    For me it was one of those days where everything came together nicely. <BJ>
