    Anyone know why this one has been moved to 23rd.
    It now clashes with the CathEx to Kingswear, so must be a good reason for the change.
    Mind you could be a good day for linesiding.
    Will have to see if the missus would like a days shoping in Exeter.

    Ian Riley has just said on Faceache that one of his Black 5s will be on this. Problems with 44932?

    Possibly due to pathing - the 5 is restricted to 60, but Tangmere can do 75.

    Plus watering time at Exeter. 44871/45407 can come off the train while 34067 is being watered, which should save a few minutes too.

    Linespeed west of Exeter is for the most part is a lot less so easier to keep pace at 60, if you can't detach at Taunton for whatever reason, the next place to do it is some distance.

    45407, bullseye!, That was what I was thinking. You can tell which of the 5's performed better on yesterday's run.
