Welcome to a very special day, well it is if you listen to some people who think 7/7/7 will bring you good luck, well it didn’t bring me much luck today! I recieved late notification of an ECS working from Old Oak – Bristol in readiness for the Torbay Express which is running on Sunday.

It was booked to run as 5Z64 Old Oak Common – Bristol Temple meads and was due into Challow loop at 14:58 which just gave me enought time to watch Lewis Hamilton put his Mclaren on pole position for Sundays British GP! :-) (Go Lewis!). I mad a quick dash out to Grove where I just made it in time to see 67027 at the head of the stock working in pretty rubbish conditions, to top it off the sun came back out after it had passed and as I got in the car to leave a Freightliner 66 headed West on hoppers! :-(
