    Thanks buseng - the times quoted on uksteam were for the move from Crewe to Bristol - if she is to be used on the DCE next Tuesday then she will have to move from Bristol after the Weymouth Seaside job on Sunday - DH

    As I said elsewhere, the loco crews must be feeling it, not far off 30 degrees again & muggy.

    Very warm but on time through Branksome, only the one tender this week. No box behind either, so should be steam back again this evening.
