    What struck me about today was how few photographers I saw out . One at Wood End when I went for a quick look , No one at Danzey , just two others at Blunts green

    Not sure the more casual photters would be aware about the diversion, I do wonder if overfamiliarity with 4965 plays a part as I notice considerably more out for less regular loco's.

    Quite a few other things on this weekend: 6023 charter and Bittern's exploits on the East Coast. Shakespeare's aren't the most exciting to photograph anyway.

    4965 "Rood Ashton Hall" is beging prepared for Sunday's Shakespeare Express. Looks like we are using the North Warwick line for all four journeys as per last Sunday.

    We have some seats available on the day for anyone who wants to join us basking in the sunshime!
