    7802 in use tomorrow instead of 1450 and 813 as 813 has failed requiring brick arch repairs.

    A good feedback

    On the matter of labelling locomotives and carriage diagrams, it is not friendly to the average punter as the codification of workings, is only useful to those in 'the know'. It needs to be shown in Plain English

    WCC website is now saying 20th as an end date looking like they will affect the gala. I walk past them this morning about 8.30 and with school traffic the queue was quite bad (plus a smashup due to someone pulling out not having a good view).

    Just a heads up. The 4 way lights at the 448/ 449 junction. Top of Comberton hill have been removed.

    Had a very enjoyable visit to the SVR today, was great to travel behind 4930 'Hagley Hall' for the first time since completion of its overhaul (and in matching GWR stock, no less). The afternoon brake van trip behind the L&YR Pug was a positively thrilling first-time experience too - especially the stretch up to and through Foley Park Tunnel! Today was also the first time I'd properly visited Bewdley Station, a lovely atmospheric place I found it to be.

    Here's a small selection of photos taken during today's travels.

    Lastly, my shot of 11243 steaming past Orchard Crossing with today's last 'brake van special'.
