Another steam special past the village yesterday looked as if we would get soaked but the shower went the other way and this guy came with a good head of steam...

Great to see this engine back up and running again. You've exposed it well - dark trains against overcast skies can be a challenge!

any idea which train went through Staines last Friday lunch time?
It was the same as the Mallard but Green. Was a really nice suprise as i was driving through and saw it go over a bridge. It was lit in bright sunshine with a thunder cloud behind it, I was so annoyed i didnt have a camera with me. In fact if i'd known about it I'd have been on about it.

I think it was probably Bittern. Saw it on the East Coast Mainline last week heading south...
