Todays Flask Traffic
Craig Munday

Hello again, I thought I'd wait until the sensitive traffic was far from our district before posting these shots. There has been some controversy about posting sensitive traffic ahead of them running with the BTP. However, as the schedules are in Real Time Trains, it's difficult to prevent the information going viral. 
Here is the Thurs 11th down working of 0Z41 catching some last minute sunshine at Laira Jn - JUST as Laira's class 08 drew a set of HST coaches out of the depot! Normally I'd be delighted to get three EE locos in one shot, but I wish the timing had been different.
Fri 12th saw the class 37s return with a flask from Keyham and is seen passing Tavistock Jn in typical February weather. 
Cheers for now  Crai
g                                      Many thanks to you Craig
