Thanks for posting the timings.

There was a post on Nat Pres claiming that the train runs from Bristol not Westbury. Is there any truth in this?

Oliver Cromwell looked good going through Yatton at 9:36.
There was not as many people watching as usual for a steam hauled train, Yatton has been packed in the past.

Some pictures from Temple Meads before I was enveloped in steam and smoke.

It ran tender first, with its support coach, through Yatton at 17:48 this evening. A few minutes ahead of the booked times. En route to Bishops Lydeard.
