    Did Tangmere run? No sign of it at Southall when I passed by on Sat, early afternoon. Only Tornado outside, mainly hidden by coaches.

    Highly unlikely, given the reported dispute between WCRC and York-area of NR. Have a look at the York Area Steam Ban thread ...

    As far as I know 46233 has moved today (Tues) from Butterley to Crewe with 37518, which has just (1700) returned to Carnforth.

    Cheers

    So I'd seen - WAY too early to be going out for at my end (the start!) and it'll more or less be dark too.......... I think I'll stay in bed! :)

    Well I did go but it was dark! Camera misfired but one awful shot just about shows it going away from me in the mirk.
    The new camera is sorely awaited!

    I'm pretty sure that the A4 was originally planned to move to Bristol yesterday, 2nd Sept. <BJ>

    4464 'Bittern' looking very smart, through Keynsham and into Bristol just after 8am.
    The support coach appeared to be that of Britannia's Mk.1.

    Although early in the morning, I was joined at the station by 3 young teenagers with cameras.
    While we were waiting for the A4 a class 66 hauled freight train appeared in the opposite direction.
    The lads hardly glanced at it. 46 years after the final BR steam service, steam still rules. <BJ>

    Thanks, just showing that I really did get up! :)

    I am glad that I wasn't the only one to think it was running yesterday. Thought I was dreaming!
