Where are they likely to spend the afternoon? Barton Hill? St Philips Marsh? Last time Taw Valley ran to Bedminster and then around the avoiding line to St Philips Marsh I suppose

Tangmere to Bath and Bristol or ...
D1015 to Kingswear the same day?

Decisions, decisions ...

Tangmere AND Duke Of Gloucester heading to Bristol within an hour of each other.

Diesel? What diesel?

Hmm...what's the point of running Tangmere ECS into Bristol Temple Meads?

It's the only place left on the railway nowadays that they can store a rake of coaches!

The coaches will be dumped in the station, the engine will go around the avoiding line to turn her around, off to Barton Hill for food and drink, then she'll back onto the coaches again and return to Bath.

How did you get the pictures inside St. Philips Marsh? I think that's where Tangmere is going.

I hope both Pacifics go to the same shed...
