    Speculation alert!

    Dad messaged me to say 70000 was in Steam at Crewe today so I’d suggest that’s probably a good bet. I don’t know for definite, however.

    Approaching Widney Manor. Was lucky to get this one as, with it being 10 minutes late, 70000 crossed with a service train leaving WM (reflection in the coaches) which appeared to slow down, I suppose so the driver could take a photo.

    Happened to be in the area today & had ten minutes to spare, so popped to Widney Manor for a quick shot. 70000 & the coaching stock looked absolutely immaculate.

    Just South of Bearley Junction, an un-timely Chiltern unit creeping into view!

    The return leg at Wilmcote, could hear the Brit coming up the bank from a long way off and as hoped for there was no let up through the station.
