'28 at Milford this morning. Still from video. Unfortunately the 47 was working hard too, probably because the train was over 10 late, but it had ample time at the water stop at Haslemere shortly after to recoup that so the diesel's input...

Sheff liked guycarr360's post in the thread Tulyar.
The one we did, Alycidon, caught fire earlier down the ECML, but made a recovery, and we got to Edinburgh about on time. Then had a great run back down the ECML with Tornado.
