    Transfers between Carnforth amd Southall are routine, but they normally take the WCML all the way to Willesden and then run via Acton Wells. Why might this one be going a much longer way round via Bicester and Didcot? Route learning for a steam driver perhaps?

    Could perhaps be route learning for upcoming steam charters, but I would also imagine it’s so the A1 is facing the right way to head into London for the ECS the next morning

    Stourbridge Junction again, in rather better light than Friday. Thankfully the late running Kidderminster-bound unit waited a few seconds and avoided bowling us.
