    Spirited run back from York to Peterborough albeit checked several times due to late running ecml services.

    Nothing to base my thoughts on (first pure steam, first run behind a class 8) but it seemed 46233 very much took today in its stride and had plenty more to give if it was allowed!

    Full marks to RTC/WCR as well, fantastic day out and the stewards were brilliant!

    Not sure if the guy sitting on the table next to us in coach A was a Nat Pres member but he seemed to be timing the run properly (e.g. Not guess work and a smart phone GPS!)
