The previous tour that was rescheduled to October 7th will now be pulled by 46201 Princess Elizabeth as 6024 is otherwise engaged at the WSR Autumn gala.
It will be interesting to see if 46201 is "cleared" for this trip or will "gauging" problems come into play!

Interested to see excellent pictures taken from bridge just to the west of Twerton tunnel.

There are a number of caravans parked there (travellers?) that might appear to be off putting to any casual visitor to that spot - be glad of your thoughts from being there.

Not sure what to say, to be honest I didn't know they were there, so can't confirm if they belong to travellers. The bridge is only 100 yards or so off the A4. There were 5 of us on the bridge waiting for 45231 so I was not alone!!
