    [MEDIA] Here's my video of an extremely rare event featuring the Duke and a GWR Class 800 at Brunel's iconic Sydney Gardens. They were running side by side with the Duke on the right road and the Class 800 on the left road. I can't remember...

    Had a enjoyable memorable day out on 71000 Duke of Gloucester to Bath boarding at Maidenhead. Some nice fast timely running despite arriving into Bath 10 mins late. Here's a pic of the duke at Bath Spa. [ATTACH] Davo 56F

    I think the thing to bear in mind is how secretive this has been. If it was an engine thats been running for a while, why would the GWSR keep it so secret, unless it was something akin to a Blue Peter, SNG, etc to keep the suspense? Its all...

    Lovely to see an old friend back in running order. Also very pleased to see 5110 has retained its Holyhead shed code.

    A marathon or not is irrelevant, the stock may be wrong and there will be no stops to drop off any through coaches on the way but let’s just be grateful that in the 21st century a Merchant Navy will depart Waterloo on a journey where two thirds...

    Our offices have been receiving calls from folk desperately trying to find out what it is. Not quite sure why they think they would get the desired answer when it hasn't been broadcast elsewhere though! Maybe we should give our office staff a...

    And thats how windows get broken. Leaning out that far and posting across social media is a good way of getting the ORR involved.

    And here it is enjoying a lucky break in the gathering clouds while crossing Dutton Viaduct. To complete a steamy lunchtime in Cheshire while waiting for the train the steam tug 'Kerne' headed downstream on the Weaver Navigation. [ATTACH]

    There will be a Diesel on the back, required with the MK2 coaches. I don't expect it to do much though.
