    Here you go
    Jubblies were incredibly unwieldy and unimaginative ice lollies. These “frozen drinks” (as they were officially known) were simply huge triangular lumps of flavoured ice.

    Diesel hauled consist, with 34028 (currently on the rear), was held at signals - as scheduled - on the western arm of Didcot's triangle awaiting an Oxford - Paddington service.
    Now that it has cleared, the movement resumed so that 34028 was at the head again ready for the return journey to WCRC Southall.
    A slow re-start it seems with the train around 5 late approaching Cholsey according to RTT.

    Clun Castle and Bahamas accelerating through Swindon, after some thorough whistling to acknowledge between them and the looped freight behind!

    For those going to seeing 5Z47 1000 Crewe H.S. to Carlisle Upperby Tmd Lsl in the Shap area, please be advised that the M6 is closed northbound from J36 (Barrow/Kirkby Londsale) to J38 (Shap) and is not expected to be reopened until after the train has passed by. Lengthy queues on the approach. A683 also closed due to roadworks in a couple of places either side of Sedbergh
