    Clan Line and the British Pullman were a few minutes late through Chiswick station at around 09:13 this morning - delayed by a late running Hounslow loop service ahead. So my original position for the perfect capture (at least in my head!) had to be abandoned at short notice as the 09:14 to Waterloo arrived on my side of the station, blocking all but a view from the very end of that platform. Didn't expect great pics in the drab weather and feared a total disaster as I ran to snap what I could. Not the greatest pic but it could have been worse! Diesel on the back.

    A few screenshots from my video earlier. Clan Line seen passing through Great Bedwyn bang on time with 67005 'Queen's Messenger' on the back, taken from the public foot crossing just east of the station.

    A couple from me on the approach to Staines this morning.

    To say the light was atrocious is an understatement!
