    Just a follow up about Wednesday's trip. It was extremely remiss of me not to specifically mention the locomotive, Sir Nigel Gresley; it looked splendid and I understand performed well throughout the day. My thanks to all at the "Trust" who work hard to keep this magnificent machine running on the mainline. I don't think 60007 has any more booked trips in the north west this year, so looking forward to seeing it in 2026.

    It may have been on the "wrong" line but the memory of sitting in a first class mk1 coach with the A4 on the front, on a sunny evening and a grey haze trailing back down the full length of the train as we sped down Beattock at 75mph will stay with me forever.

    My video from yesterday, outward at Parsons Tunnel and then the return at Torre.

    So good to have 5029 back!

    Here's my footage of 5029 Nunney Castle putting in a very good display on yesterday's English Riviera Express. I filmed at Whiteball Summit, Goodrington Sands, Kingswear and Tiverton Parkway. I hope you enjoy it.
