    It was a fortunate meet up as I got a couple of shots on your suggestion and you now know where Marc Bolan's roadside memorial is!

    The spot outside Victoria is quite a popular one; I was there for the second outing of the day (not having seen until that morning that the B1 was out vice the Brit). Such was the impromptu nature of my day chasing it, I initially failed to realise it took a different route out to that it came back. After catching the ECS at Chelsea Bridge and the outward of trip 3 at Imperial Wharf, I hurriedly went to a road bridge near Wandsworth Town for the return, failing to twig it would be (and was) in light too poor to salvage anything. I had considered going out today for it too, but the weather didn't look as promising.

    Aside from the Bath outing vice 71000 last week, was this the first public outing for Mayflower since the East Lancs gala in March?
