Yes, things went quite well on Monday, my freight train was always with 10 minutes of its timetable. I like the 'double track' shot in the cutting at Toddington. Wish it was double track out of the station too, for some weird reason it becomes...

An emergency timetable for today has been posted on the 'Cotswold Festival of Steam' Facebook page (but can't find it on the official GWSR page or website. Hopefully it's legit.) https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Dh83grdhU/ ****EMERGENCY...

I've dug out a couple of pictures of the Bodiam relay. That was November 1998, it may be slightly different this time. [ATTACH] This is the '7' jig that was used, so you dropped down the 4, then reverse a bit, and then drop the other 3....
