    Positioning move today for GBRF stock and visitors to MHR Diesel Gala?
    https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K04526/2021-06-24/detailed

    Only just found the timings. Running a bit late by the looks of it.

    Also just found another path for this evening? Another visitor for the Gala?

    It's shaping up to be a good gala. <BJ>

    The northern belle website states Tornado is doing it, so this would be the movement for that.

    Well, both RH and RTC are still showing the "correct" loco for The Bournemouth Belle - 35018 - sorry, for the Bournemouth Express

    I'm intrigued by the two hours and fourteen minutes shunting up and down at York before setting off for the south.

    There's chaos on the Bournemouth main line today as a fire-damaged rail at Micheldever has meant only one line (the down line) is available today and some trains are to be diverted via the Pompey Direct and some are working wrong road from Winchester to Micheldever. The light engine move might have been delayed by repercussions although Woking seems to be OK at present.

    That does not look like Fire alone.
    More like a Gas Torch has been in use.

    This is the other image that has been posted. Looks like the third rail has earthed through a puddle to the running rail.
