    I think I will see it go through Egham, then race over to Woking to see her pass through there. All of this after seeing, I hope, 70000 on West Somerset Express at Twyford or Reading. Bring the steam on baby!

    I will be heading to Worplesdon as I don't have time to go anywhere else. Things to do. Looking forward to seeing Tornado again. It's been a while since I last saw her in action.

    Anyone know if everything is okay with this? RT doesn't seem to be updating for the departure from Victoria. The ECS and loco movements went ahead earlier.

    Thanks for that. The actual tour timings are still not updating though. A loco problem or Rt not working? Wondering whether it's worth heading out or not at the moment.

    Dunno what happening, I was planning to do West Byfleet and then Betchworth, but the M25 is a par cark and the timings will be tight. Going to avoid the longer journey I think and Just make do with a local view today. Its not as tho I don't have the next two years to see the thing repeatedly.

    I was going to Betchworth so thanks for M25 update, although I can still do the back roads alternative.

    Still nothing on RTT, even the LE movement just saying "approaching" Vict.

    Welcome back to the South Tornado! Very impressive run through Worplesdon today. I will try and get the video uploaded later if I have time.

    3rd class of loco to climb up onto the Byfleet banking in the space of two weeks.



    That POB looks a bit out of place with the pullman stock. And no Pullman headboard.

    Indeed, and tempted as I am to film the forth loco at that loco, I am happy with the steam trilogy. In truth I am not going to waste an A4 at that location, I have far bette replaces in mind, I'll probably chase the thing all day.

    Edit: Depending on the weather that is.
