Monday 24th - It's Actually Warm!

 More on this later...

Continuing the good turnouts, with 14 in today. Very useful on a warm day like today, as the carriages can be very warm inside. This week rake 1 was once again in platform 2, as Paul is having trouble getting the marks off and wanted another chance at the Cotswold side.

With Rich with a Ghostbuster in rake 2 I set to straight away with one in rake 1, but I did manage to catch Val and Roger C working in the buffet car.

With a good turnout it is all done by lunchtime.

The rest of the team today was David, Greg, Jane, John, Kath, Nigel, Paul, Peter, Tim and Val.

So why a picture of 20228? I believe it was waiting for final work to be completed before it could run on its own and not coupled to 20137. It appears this has now been done as we noticed it shunting around with 45149 and 20137 in tow. The above picture is as we left and the other two were about to be detached so presumably all was OK, and 20228 was last seen on its own disappearing down the main running line.

45149 and 20137 being detached.
