I went to see this tour yesterday, but due to being an idiot I'd checked the 2009 webpage of the train times and popped down the road to the bridge at Lockleaze to see it. The train went via Bath of course.... doh!
I spent an hour there taking photos of bugs and Voyagers. Was quite nice, if a bit windy, but I was disappointed not to see the tour. Will be at work when it hurtles up the hill tomorrow.

Thanks "nunneycastle". I've tweaked the photo slightly, see below, not quite so aggressive with the sharpening. Please feel free to use the original photo and/or the ones below.nunneycastle wrote:Great pic of Nunney Castle at speed !

Can somebody tell me why the Western was badged "D1009 Western Invader" when I saw it at Bristol Parkway on Thursday 8th? Was it not Western Champion. Are numbers and nameplates swapped, and why?
Thanks,

IIRC it's named Champion on one side the other reserved for the alter ego.
