Cathedrals to Portsmouth 30-07-09

Left London on time

 

Just gone through shoreham two minutes early.

 

Busy but 70013 was I heard someone say 4 minutes earlyat Preston Park on the platforms but the path down was easy to take pictures. Graeme Bunker on board. Walking back we could hear the whistle. Going to Haywards Heath tonight. I'll upload pictures later.

 

Reported on time through Worthing at 11:59.

Thanks to Mark S. <BJ>

and Preston Park

She sounded lovely accelerating through the station tonight, a very nice day all round.

 

Where you were at Preston Park on the return was the best place to take pics when she had the water stop. She was great though almost a blur through Haywards Heath.

 

Clapham Junction this morning.

On time at Streatham. Now I see what people mean about this engine - what a noise! Even trundling up the slightly gradient to Streatham station. Shame it was then drowned out by the generator(?) on the buffet car.

As promised my best from Preston Park. Sorry about some the light was in the way. More to come.

Thats all of them. I took them on my mobile but looking at them on here I think they look great. I did take 41 pictures however and 3 videos.
