    There is a working shown on RTT from Eastleigh Arlington to Stewarts Lane today as ECS. I had assumed that this would be the stock for Wednesday's DCE, but may be wrong. In any event though, the train has not yet left EA (as at 1002) when it was scheduled to leave at 0809. I am just curious as to thoughts...

    I'd be interested to see what effect that rain has had. My experience driving through some of the very heavy showers over the weekend is that the rain was just bouncing off the land and straight into watercourses, not really wetting the ground and plants.

    My experience of walking around today in the woods and heaths near me is that there is a general 'damp' feeling and the ground is certainly moist. Possibly more rain tonight, although our hoped-for (and forecast) widespread deluges last night missed us narrowly and went further east.

    Meanwhile the ECS from Eastleigh (which may or may not have been for the DCE) is nowhere to be seen.

    That was meant to be the stock for the Britannic Explorer - the ECS for Wednesday's tour will come from Southall.

    A-ha! Many thanks - I must admit I had expected Southall to be the source for Wednesday but today's movement seemed a possible fit for the DCE too.
