    Sometime this week as the A3 is due to be on display at Kings Cross on the 15th & 16th October. The timings to come South might be kept off RTT though as it is Scotsman. I can't find any on RTT yet.

    Ralph, Southwark Park is south of the River. Metropolitan Elites are north of the River.

    I didn't know it was Southwark Park but still got the reference in context. Does that make me part of the anti-growth coalition? :(

    That's rich coming, by far, from the leading light of personal insults on this forum...oh don't bother to respond ...I'm on your "ignore list"....that didn't last long did it?

    It’s a sad fact that if I ‘ignore’ you, threads you started also disappear. So I have to do the manual version – only responding to this because it was directly addressed to me.

    I did see a comment on Facebook suggesting it was heading for Southall at about 3:30 on Wednesday morning. No idea of the poster's credentials and there's nothing on RTT for then, so treat with a certain quantity of salt.

    Coincidentally I'd have been very close to being in that shot 15-20 minutes earlier…

    Agreed. Absolutely no salt required.
    Bury to Heywood is under full possession during the day this week due to Network Rail MPV testing, so has to be very early or very late. 03.30 is +/- very close to being 100% correct. Will no doubt delight the residents on Broadfield Bank.
