CLAN LINE was out on the main line yesterday.

Yes, I believe that is correct as RTT shows no arrival in the right time slot. Three specials in today the two all diesels are due out at 16:36 & 18:36 with Clan Line out at 17:09, probably banked.

Thanks for this. RTT is a great resource but I found it pretty confusing today with the trains leaving Weymouth delayed and out of order! At times, the 1709 departure went missing from the list. I went out to see it though, and am glad I did.

 

Whilst waiting, I met a couple of Italian exchange students who were brought out by their host. They were excited to see a steam engine outside of a museum!

 

I'm not into diesels at all, but if there's something to point the camera at, I will do! I understand the other two Class 47s were on their way to Norwich. WCRC's 47 is pictured awaiting Clan Line's move from Yeovil.

81mph between Basingstoke and Woking and 78mph between Woking and Waterloo.  Marvellous!!!

 

Cheers

It appears that the repairs to Clan Line are essentially complete as she undertook a light test run yesterday from Willesden to Acton and back. She looked to be in beautiful condition, as usual, and having suffered withdrawal symptoms due to her absence in 2023 I can’t wait for some more impressive outings during 2024.

Clan Line undertook a loaded test run yesterday (22nd) and it seems all is well.
