    Many thanks for that - interesting stuff. I know the line to Milford is far from flat but a MN could handle that load with ease, but of course the specific Haslemere deadline changes the picture completely. According to RTT the time made up...

    Quite a few turned out to see it, lining the footbridge!

    Indeed, as I mentioned, the 47 was powering hard at Milford for no apparent benefit on a pretty easy stretch.

    I noticed a red at Farnborough on 'Traksy', for no apparent reason as the line ahead was clear. Yes, Woking was tangled.

    I was at Woking, trying a new filming spot, in the car park. Far from ideal (not least because it was into the sun), but different. I saw the shenanigans with platform alterations, including a down Exeter train using p2. As you say, seemingly...

    It was only a suggestion .... typed in a hurry. On the night 2L63 and 2L68 reversed in platform 1. With disruption elsewhere, hopefully the schedule error wasn't even noticed. Looking at National rail there have been problems in the Portsmouth...

    Yes the diesel was needed for the reversal into Portsmouth but it seemed unnecessary at Milford when '28 is more than capable of running to maximum speed on that stretch with that load. Perhaps the fireman wanted a well-earned breather...

    That may be what will happen but it's not what RTT shows and therefore what has been planned.

    '28 at Milford this morning. Still from video. Unfortunately the 47 was working hard too, probably because the train was over 10 late, but it had ample time at the water stop at Haslemere shortly after to recoup that so the diesel's input...

    RTT shows a clash at Woking in the evening - see attached. An ex-Basingstoke train (2L68) is supposed to arrive at p2 at 2003 and terminate. It returns to Basingstoke at 2018 as 2L63. Meanwhile 35028 is also shown as using p2 from 2006 to...

    Absolutely. I assumed '28 would cross at Byfleet, with the 450s/444s having got well ahead by then. I have often wondered why the intermediate timing points on RTT are not spliced in when the schedule first appears, given that they are...

    Possibly Bryan, but not sure it is down to a third party system to be responsible for providing the data.

    Have not a lot of the York tours reverse at Gascoigne Wood on the way back south? Plus of course most DCE's & Swanage Belle's used to reverse in Southampton UDGL.

    A couple of slightly interesting features of the run are; a call at Barnes "for staffing reasons", and the fact that it reverses at Fareham signal E281 - there can't be many trains in the UK (albeit a tour) that are scheduled to reverse while not...
