    Details of test runs for 34052 are now available at uksteam.info.

    Next week should also see 45699, 46100 and maybe one of the Riley Black 5s (or just possibly 34067) heading for Southall.

    Are we to expect that 34052 will do it's loaded test run on the usual Northern circuit ?

    Probably not if its DBC entrusted rather than WC. More likely the route 70000 used for its loaded test out of Crewe perhaps?

    As well as the 2 Crewe-Chester E+C trips on UKsteam? Probably not, in my opinion, but what do I know?

    Looks like Southall WCR, not that it makes much difference, its the same place till you throw the third set of points inside the yard. Pity West Country Fighter Squadron class "Douglas Bader" (or what ever its called this week) can't be added to the mix, its simply AGES since i had a triple header on video. Crewe seems to be an interesting place to be tomorrow.

    Its that wait in Hanwell bridge loop thats variable, I have witnessed the hanwell bridge loop wait turning into a quick dash straight across southall east junction from the slow down. I'm dog training up Tring way tomorrow, so I'll try and grab it somewhere between Cheddington and Kings Langley on my way home.

    Guess its just Royal Scot from Crewe to Southall now as that leg is still showing as running.

    Glad the sun is out in Staffordshire!
