    I'll download the video I shot of Tornado also passing through Tilehurst later! Damn sun came out right at the wrong time, so I switched from taking photos to video, it was the only few mins of sun we have seen all bloomin day!

    Not sure what viewing has been like at other areas, but there must of been between 40-50 people waiting for Tornado at Tilehurst today.

    Thanks to Network Rail locking the train into the loop at Craven Arms an hour was lost while a man in a van came to clip the points and free the train. Reported departing Bristol 60 down, passing Southall 40 down.... smart work by Driver Ward I'd say!

    UPDATE - deficit of 70 minutes halved by arrival in Paddington.

    Had a fantastic trip yesterday,the run back was great particularly beyond Bristol,the run through Didcot was fantastic. Very enjoyable despite the long day.

    Thanks to all at SD,NR,DB and Riviera for a fantastic day out once again.


    I have put some photos up from last night at Paddington along with a few others from the day.
