    Confirmed timings taken from RTC website for May 20 trip.
    Leaves earlier than previous years, and arrives later, only the Brentford pick up being different.
    2 hours 3 mins seems a "sporty" target for a turnround based on previous trips.

    Confirmed timings shown
    Station Outward Return
    London Victoria 08:21 22:09
    Brentford 09:16 21:41
    Staines 09:35 21:21
    Woking 10:06 20:34

    Interestingly, the times are still not on RTT - quite late for a (relatively) non-celebrity loco.

    Also interesting that the stock stands in p7 at Victoria for nearly an hour, tying up a platform there on a weekday morning, albeit a little before the peak.

    This morning at Woking. Perhaps it's me, but the 34028 cab-side number looks as if it is applied in bold! 115A6588.jpeg 115A6586.jpeg

    The water stop(?) at Fleet seems to have run over a bit. At least one delayed service train, that should have stopped at both Fleet and Farnborough, has been routed onto Fast Up, so has now gone through both stations.

    Edit: Although Eddy is now moving.

    I wonder if they were able to offload passengers from the service train at Winchfield, so that they could join the next service, which was just behind and did not have to change lines
