Does any one have any ideas on timings for some reason UK steam has no times, neither has vintage trains?

Fabulous pic! Makes me quite homesick for my old spotting bridge!
Nice to see you finally have some sun and green leaves over there (Just in time for my trip back to Bris
)

Thanks, I was staggered at the numbers also taking photos from this spot - must have been approaching 40 in all, most I've ever seen here.
It is a good location though I really admired those ones taken at distance near Bath - excellent!

FAW was equally as packed, a good 15-20 on the ends of the platforms alone and then there was the bridge...I think the weather helped....
