    Over to Leyland in plenty of time, I was third person on the platform and the first to set up a tripod - its the early worm that catches . . . ? There was sun but a cool breeze although it was pleasant enough waiting. Someone who I have met...

    Really fun day chasing steam through my part of Wales today. Glorious weather and the 5s sounded magnificent. Started at Craven Arms, then caught them again accelerating away from Dolau. Saw them at Llandrindod and Llanwrtyd, then finished with...
