    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.
