    Thanks Ashley and everyone else. Nice to see her allowed out without the Class 67 escort this week :) I had to miss this trip for a change, looks like I missed a good performance!

    I think that is the second or third consecutive time on the trot that the Class 67 has not been attached at the rear. What a difference! I get hacked off with the comments of Jo Public at places like Woking who seem to think the diesel on the VSOE is there in case the steam loco fails or it is there to push it up the hills. Wrong in both cases Mr Smith!

    Oh yes, I hadn't even noticed the graffiti. I guess as its everywhere it does not even stand out much! Well, to my eyes anyway!
