The First train this evening in the fading light I photographed was a 'Flying Cucumber' on a Cheltenham to London express. Because of trespassers in the Stroud area, the STEAM SPECIAL train was stopped while police went ahead and searched the track. Thus the steam special (organised by Saphos trains and hauled by ex-Southern Region rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific 34046 'BRAUNTON') was about 20 minutes late passing my location. Actual times :- STANDISH JUNCTION - 2 mins EARLY STROUD - 3 mins LATE KEMBLE - 21 mins LATE SWINDON - 15 mins LATE MILTON JUNCTION (near Didcot) - 12 mins LATE Regards Ken Mumford.
