    Or is it to be the CHRISTMAS YORKSHIREMAN ?. what a long day for the crew(s). Off Southall 04.39 and into York 13.51. With 7 1/2 hours behind steam for passengers from Victoria and 3hrs of running before taking water ??? !! Looking forward to seeing plenty of photos on here of a green A4 making her way up the London Midland, and as I was brought up at Luton, it was all Jubilees and Scots and Black 5's. Get out there with your cameras lads and lasses !!!! Pete

    There was a post on Twitter last night saying RTT's real time feed would be down for a few hours from 00.30 for maintenance. Another tweet a few minutes ago said they expect it to be working ok within the hour.

    Please, what's a running "well box"?

    Anything like a running well tank?


    Here's 2 I took earlier, (December 1962 I think). Running between Wimbledon and Raynes Park.

    Not quite what I had in mind - the wind blew the exhaust down, but hey... Anyway, here's No.9 heading north at East Hyde (just north of Harpenden) catching the morning sunrise.

    Its a vascular medical condition caused by cold fingers in the semi darkness on a cracked smartphone screen. Funnily enough it can only be diagnosed by those with another medical condition, Pedantrious nimia.

    46253 in a well chosen vantage point. Assume you were standing there waiting for it to get light !!! She should be standing at Kettering now already.

    Thankyou! I took advantage of my latest toy to get a bit of a different angle too - a telescopic pole with my camera on top.

    Cheers,

    A brave attempt. Unlucky with the exhaust. As you say, so near yet so far. At least you saw it, I'm stuck at home recovering from hernia op. :(
