    Looking forward to this run. Looking at those timings, the train sits at Llandrindod from 1338 to 1634, and two units are booked to cross at 1535. Can someone explain what happens there? I thought there was only a loop at Llandrindod, no siding? Or can the train shunt out of the way somehow?

    There is a siding to the north of the station.

    If they can't get 45407 back in time, could 44932 get called up ?

    Which is unusual because Mr Riley is generally very communicative on there. Probably flat out with fixing the problem and too busy for trivial posting.

    Cheers
