    My Dad and I managed to get a reasonable photo of the A4 on the approach to Clayton Tunnel.

    There was one person on our platform filming, looked magnificent and she was flying. The sun came out just at the right time for the people with cameras.

    I did but is on a mobile so the quality isn't good and can't upload because it has problems transfering it to a computer.

    Bang on time at Streatham Common - nice steady start up and round the curve to Streatham and on towards Leigham Tunnel.

    Watched her heading up Grovesnor bank in the morning - something of an anticlimax it has to be said!

    I heard off someone at South Croydon that she lost contact with the 37 up the bank which was why she was a few minutes down when I saw it. Was that true?

    I heard the same at Salfords, the 37 'fell off' in his words and she slipped to a stand on the way out of Victoria

    I believe the driver on the 37 forgot tn isolate the TPWS which caused the brakes to be applied when it passed the signal at the end of the platform.

    Seems more likely, it was pushing out of Victoria but then stopped as it approached the signal.
