    I was at Wandsworth Town and was informed due to signalling issues all trains were going through Platform 6 at Clapham Junction then crossing over to pass Platform 2 at Wandsworth Town, causing congestion.

    Eddystone then got held outside Brookwood to let the Basingstoke stopper go ahead so it wasn't stuck behind the steam at the water stop at Winchfield, costing more time.

    The tour seen at Wandsworth Town and Farnborough this morning:

    I wonder why the usually-troublesome schedule around the Winchfield water stop has still not been changed - is it really not possible to tweak it such that the schedule includes the service train going first, rather than an on-the-day decision? I had forgotten about the mk2 stock, so that, plus the seemingly lack of usual steam effort, vindicates my (admittedly border-line) decision not to bother to go and film. Nice filming from you as always. The train has at least regained some time, and it looks like a fine day for the passengers.
