Back to plan 'A'. It's the King after all. Time for things to change yet though. <BJ>

stalled on Filton bank, any one know any more about if the tour is off or is heading on to Cardiff?

Basic arithmetical error.

Know nothing more about it, only heard it stalled and delay any following services.

I headed down to FAW from Patchway to see if there was anything about and couldn't see anything.

It wont be the first time Filton Bank has got the better of Tangmere...

Saw 6024 at the road bridge after Pilning station. After I heard reports on the grapevine that 34067 had stalled I wasn't sure whether to wait at Pilning or head to Lockleaze, after waiting until about 50 mins after it was due decided to head to Lockleaze. Got there just in time to see the 47 back onto the head of the train.

I drove past the crowd on the bridge and ended up on Pilning station.

Perhaps we all ought to be wearing badges so we can identify each other

Return leg for the King at Pilning. Not the best time of day to capture a video.
