After the run back to Bristol, it appears that the King is going to run down to the West Somerset Railway.
There isn't anything on when the King moves to Bristol before the run to London.

From Corston
Yet again, this loco still manages to illude me from getting a half decent shot of it.
This morning the winters gloom was still around and so required high ISO and coupled with a hundred weight of mud on my feet and legs I was getting pretty grumpy, and a shot I'm not at all happy with.

It looks a good picture to me!
All I saw was a lot of steam as I drove down Junction Road...as we went over the bridge the passengers said, "that must have been a steam train", as the carriages disapeared towards Bath Spa station!

I videoed it at Christian Malford this morning and then went over to Cholsey to take another shot.
The weather was better in Oxfordshire, but they ran it on the up fast rather than the slow line that I was expecting, so my chosen position on a footbridge over the cutting meant that there was more shadow than I anticipated when I picked the location!
I shall go to Chippenham station tonight to have third go and, if the video turns out to be any good, I will put it on Youtube.

I wondered who was stuck in that field at Saltford. It looks like a good picture to me. Although it was desparately cold and overcast.
A couple of pictures from the trip to London, at either end of the day.

I noticed that there were quite a few people taking pictures at Bath Spa. Seemed to be quite a few flashes going off. Lovely shot.
Must have been a few less than gruntled people when the 125 arrived. Were the polis bored, keen to watch the King or ready to ask photographers if they were going to help them with their enquires.
It was a shame that this tour was not during the summer, but it was a great run after the water stop at Wantage.
In the one of the First Class coaches there was a pair of Little Britain Laydees, there was a rumour that there was a film/tv crew in tow to record how the public reacted to them.
