Watford Western
Dennis Clarke

Hi Keith, Roger, Jon,

A bit out of your area but a couple of pictures of D1015, Western Champion, at Watford Junction in the pouring rain with the Railtour from East Midlands Parkway to Cranmore.  Even in the poor weather, a large gallery was gathered along the platform.

No problems if you don’t put it on the website as I know it’s well out of your area,

Regards,
Dennis

Many thanks Dennis - off our patch, but headed into it. Plus, it's a Western! If anybody has any photos of the tour at Cranmore we'd be very interested to see them.
